Fauzia Kasuri joins PSP

KARACHI: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founding member, Fauzia Kasuri, has joined the Pak Sarzameen Party, saying the former has “deviated from its mission after 2013 and inducted those into its fold who they were struggling against.”

Speaking to a press conference at the PSP headquarters, Pakistan House, on Thursday, Kasuri, who is also called the Mother of PTI, said she has no differences with Imran Khan but with his party that no longer worked for the cause that they intended to while founding it.

A day ago, she sent her resignation to the PTI chairman Imran Khan and also shared it on her Twitter account. She wrote, “I have become increasingly disenchanted by the direction that party has taken and no longer see it as representative of the aspirations of the millions of the derserved citizens seeking transformative change in Pakistan.”

She added that Khan has opted to hand the reins of the party to those electables who fought against the PTI since its inception “at the cost of workers who in some cases even laid down their lives for the cause.”
