LAHORE: PPP’s former MPA Chaudhry Mohammad Shabbir and 25 others from the party and the PML-N have announced joining the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf.

The announcement was made at a ceremony in the presence of PTI Punjab organiser Chaudhry Sarwar, Opposition Leader in the Punjab Assembly Mian Mahmoodur Rasheed and MPA Mian Aslam Iqbal.

The new entrants to the party expressed their confidence in PTI chief Imran Khan.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Sarwar said Mr Khan would address a mammoth gathering in Lahore on Sunday (today) as a part of by-election campaign in NA-122.

Terming the public meeting as crucial, he said the PTI chief would “expose the rulers’ corruption” besides announcing the party manifesto and its “people-friendly” policies.

He said the PTI would prove that Lahore was now its fort and the rulers would not be allowed to win the election through rigging.

He said the specifically trained PTI “Tigers” would remain alert at polling stations and teach a lesson to those, who would try to rig the by-election.

Stating that all segments of the society were supporting the PTI for the Oct 11 by-election, he asserted that neither any honest leadership could come into power, nor corruption and injustice be eliminated, without ensuring free and fair election system in the country.
