Well-informed political sources told ‘The News’ that member of National Assembly Dr Fehmida Mirza, her spouse Dr Zulifqar Mirza and their group will also join the newly-formed IPP as three days ago Jahangir Tareen met Dr Fehmida Mirza and discussed the related issues. The sources said three former chief ministers Arbab Raheem, Liaquat Jatoi, Ghous Ali Shah and former federal minister Muhammad Mian Soomro were part of the PTI but after May 9 incidents, they parted ways with the party.
