LONDON: Former leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Justice (R) Wajihuddin has decided to form his own political party after pulling out from PTI led by Imran Khan.

Justice Wajih announced his decision during an exclusive interview with Geo News, announcing that he saw the way forward for him was to make his own party to provide an alternative platform to the masses. He said that the name of his party would be announced in a couple of weeks.

He criticised the PTI’s polices. He was of the views that Imran Khan was running his party as one man show and there was no space for commoners. Responding to a question Justice Wajih said that his party would not represent left or right but would be a central party. He said that the constitution and manifesto comprising 100 pages was ready to display. He was confident to win election and to form government in general election 2018.

Justice Wajih resigned from the basic membership of the party few days ago and said that it was impossible for him to stay in the party that he played a role in founding. He said that it was unfortunate that the PTI had lost direction and a group of rich people had taken over it through dubious means. He said that there was no place left for the ideological workers in the PTI and there was no point for him to stay in the PTI anymore. Justice Wajih is on his family visit and will return soon after getting consultation with his family and friends.
