PTI leader Ali Zafar has said party founder Imran Khan was informed about the party’s decision to join the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) after it was taken.

In a conversation with Dawn News show InFocus, Zafar said the decision was taken that the PTI should go with a party which contested the general elections and had a member in Parliament.

“We wanted to join a party for the reserved seats,” he said.

Confirming PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat’s remarks on the issue, Zafar said Imran had decided to join the Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen previously but the decision was changed.

Zafar said the party knew this might create an issue in securing reserved seats but the decision was taken nonetheless. He added that the reasons will be clarified by the party later on.

On whether Imran was aware of the decision to join the SIC, Zafar stated there was some miscommunication in that regard which could only be clarified by those who took the decision.

“Imran Khan sahib was told later on,” Zafar said, adding that he himself was not an active part of the decision-making process.
