Several political workers join PTI in Nowshera

NOWSHERA: Dozens of members of the Awami National Party (ANP) and Jamaat-e-Islami on Monday quit respective parties and joined the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Rashakai area of the Nowshera district.

They made the announcement at a ceremony arranged at the residence of nazim, Haji Nabi Gul, here.

District Nazim Liaquat Khattak, Tehsil Nazim Ahad Khattak, Malik Muhammad Abrar, Saleem Mujahid and Ninhar Ali and other PTI leaders and workers were present on the occasion. They addressed on occasion.

Those who joined the PTI included Sher Rehman, Zahir Ali, Taj Muhammad Khan, Khan Wali, Hameedullah, Yousaf Shah, Ilyas Khan, Sabir Hayat, Samiullah, Noorullah, Roman Khan, Sajajd , Saleem Khan, Aalam Syed, Akhtar Gul, Abdul Wahab, Umar Said and Saleem Khan. District Nazim Liaquat Khattak welcomed the new entrants to the party. He presented them the party caps.

Speaking on the occasion, Liaquat Khattak said other political parties had disappointed the people and that was why people were joining the PTI in droves.

The nazim was critical of Member National Assembly Ayesha Gulalai for her tirade against the PTI leadership.

“She has launched propaganda against the PTI Chairman Imran Khan and Chief Minister Pervez Khattak just to grab the attention of the media”, he claimed.

Liaquat Khattak said huge funds had been released to develop the Nowshera district but some projects were yet to be launched.

The district nazim said a number of development projects had been completed in the Nowshera district. “We will complete the remaining uplift schemes and honour our promises made to the electorate,” he added.

Liaquat Khattak said the PTI-led provincial government had put the KP on road to progress by launching a number of projects in health, education and other sectors. He was sure that the PTI would emerge victorious again in next general election and form government not only in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but also at the Centre.
