Sunni Ittehad Council Chairman Sahibzada Hamid Raza has said that the decision of PTI-backed independent candidates to join his party was made by ex-premier Imran Khan.

During an interview with DawnNewsTV, when asked about PTI potentially wanting to get back its candidates, Raza said, “I have no issues.”

“Our settlement [with the PTI] was temporary,” the SIC chief further said, adding that it was done to “secure” PTI candidates.
