On the other hand, senior PTI leader from South Punjab and former Federal Minister Khusro Bakhtiar has also announced the decision to step down from Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf. Releasing a video message of his own, Bakhtiar said that a year ago he had informed the top leadership of the party it would be harmful to show favoritism with the institutions.
Bakhtiar added that he had left the membership of PTI’s core committee and the chairmanship of South Punjab a year ago. However, the heart-wrenching events of May 9 have forced him to step away from PTI’s philosophy. The leader reiterated that his twenty-five years of local, provincial, and national projects have compelled him to step down. He added that he “can’t work with the political philosophy of Tehreek-i-Insaaf anymore”.
Khusro Bakhtiar added: “I believe that the future of Pakistan is not in the politics of division and confrontation.”
