  • PPP's Ghulam Mustafa Khar joins PTI

    Malik Ghulam Mustafa Khar on Monday joined Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) after a meeting with party chairman Imran Khan. "I agree with the PTI's manifesto and its leadership," said the veteran politician while speaking highly of the PTI chairman.

    Imran Khan on the occasion welcomed Khar to the party.

    Mustafa Khar has long been associated with the PPP as one of its founding members. During Bhutto's presidency, Khar was appointed the chief minister of Punjab. "Imran Khan will lead Pakistan into the future," said Khar, and added, "I will stand side by side with Imran Khan, as he struggles for a new Pakistan".

    Earlier today, PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari made scathing remarks against Imran Khan, while addressing a rally in Mardan, "He [Khan] calls himself a leader of the youth. How can he be a leader of the youth? He is older than me. Bilawal is a leader for the young people," he said, referring to his son and PPP chairman.

    In what may be a rebuttal to Asif Ali Zardari's speech, Khan said, "this is not the time for personal attacks. The need of the hour is to unite for Pakistan."

    "The privileged class of people in Pakistan has a responsibility on its shoulders, to work harder than the common man, for greater good of the country," said the PTI chairman.
