ISLAMABAD: Three members of the Punjab Assembly Tuesday announced to join Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) following their meeting with party chairman Imran Khan, the PTI said in a statement.
The MPAs, Shahabuddin Sehadr of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Ahsan Fityana of the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and independent MPA Ahmed Shah Khagga, called on the PTI chairman in Islamabad.
A former member of the National Assembly from Punjab, Makhdoom Ahmed Anwar Alam, also called on Imran and announced to join the PTI bandwagon.
In his message, Imran welcomed all of them to the party.
“It is the time for distributing resources among the people, which have until now been into the hold of a single family,” he added.
The PTI chief maintained that it was inevitable to hold corrupt politicians accountable, lamenting that coffers were filled abroad by depriving the people of Punjab.
“Holding them accountable is the need of the hour,” Imran said, vowing to bring back the nation’s looted money stashed abroad.
