More leaders continue to leave the embattled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) as Friday’s toll reaches four members.
After former federal minister Firdous Ashiq Awan and former provincial minister Murad Raas announced that they’re leaving PTI in the afternoon, Abrar ul Haq and Saifullah Niazi also held press conferences to say that they have quit the party.
Saifullah Niazi, a relative and close confidant of Imran Khan’s, said in the presser that he wants to focus on his life, his family and his health. “The last one year has been very stressful,” he said, condemning the May 9 attacks. He left immediately afterwards, without replying to questions.
In his presser, Abrar ul Haq said that he’s quitting politics altogether. He then sang a poem he had written, bursting into tears at the end of the recital.
