Pervez Khattak, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarians (PTI-P), attacked the former prime minister Imran Khan on Monday, saying that he wanted a “puppet” chief minister in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The PTI leader wanted a puppet Chief Minister in KP, according to Khattak, and “I was not a puppet CM.”
The former Chief Minister of KP said that PTI had four opportunities for holding elections and every party was ready for election in July. The talks were held with the government team and with former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa but the PTI chairman was not agreeing even on easy conditions, Khattak said.
He further said that if the PTI chief had agreed on the election date with the government the May 9 violence would have not happened. The PTI chairman did not want someone else to get more popular than him in the party, he added.
Khattak was expelled from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), over his statement against the party chief.
Following this, the former Defence Minister launched a new political party under the name of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Parliamentarians, ARY News reported.
Meanwhile, PTI Chairman Imran Khan was arrested on Saturday from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore soon after he was found guilty of “corrupt practices” in the Toshakhana case and sentenced to three years in prison.
