LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf PTI has given a big blow to the Pakistan People's Party in Punjab. Pakistan People's Party is already fighting a war of survival in Punjab after the General Elections 2013.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan has decided to join Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The former Minister of Information and Broadcasting made an unconditional announcement of joining PTI. She will represent the party from her constituency NA-111 which is next to that of the Defence Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (N) leader Khawaja Asif as both belong from Sialkot.
According to the reports, Firdous Ashiq met PTI’s Umar Dar, Khawaja Asif competitor in NA-110, and agreed to leave PPP. She expressed full support in the leadership of PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
Earlier this month, PTI had managed to include another PML-N leader Chaudhry Akhlaq who used to be a close aide of Khawaja Asif in the same city.
The newly-made PTI leader will announce her formal entry into the party upon meeting Imran Khan.
