FAISALABAD: Days after a PML-N MNA quit party in favour of a move to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), MNA from Faisalabad Dr Nisar Ahmed Jutt also announced his move to PTI on Friday.
The lawmaker announced his move to tehreek insaf during a meeting with PTI Chairman Imran Khan and leader Jahangir Tareen.
Lauding Dr Nisar on his arrival, Imran Khan said that the MNA’s decision to quit ‘mafia’ league is the right way forward for him and that the former Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader would become part of the struggle against PML-N ‘mafia’.
Taking jibes at PML-N, Khan said that the ruling party is setting the ‘worst example’ of using the excuse of public welfare for its own advantage. He added that the people of Punjab should prepare themselves for – tabdeeli – ‘change’.
