Fauzia Kasuri quits PTI

KARACHI: PTI leader Fauzia Kasuri announced her decision Wednesday to quit the party saying that she had sent her resignation to chairman Imran Khan and other members, Geo News reported. “It should come as no surprise to you that I have decided to leave the PTI,” read a letter forwarded to the PTI chief by Fauzia Kasuri. Thanking Imran for providing her a platform to develop her political career on, she said since 2013, she had become increasingly disenchanted by the direction the party had taken and no longer saw it as representative of aspiration of millions of undersized citizens seeking transformative change in Pakistan. “Furthermore, you opted to hand the reins of the party to those electables we fought against since our inception, at the cost of workers who in some cases laid down their lives for the cause,” the letter read. “Sadly, this was the final nail in the coffin”. She further stated that this letter be accepted as her formal resignation from the party.
