Manzoor Watto who has served as vice president of PPP in the past wasformally invited by the key PTI leaders, Jehangir Tareen, Federal MinisterGhulam Sarwar Khan and Punjab Senior Minister Aleem Khan, to join theruling party.

In July 25 elections, Mr Wattoo violated the discipline of his former party(PPP) by contesting the polls as an independent candidate. However, the PPPdidn’t take any disciplinary action against him.
