Shireen Mazari quits PTI

Desertions of senior leaders from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) continue, as party’s vice president, Dr Shireen Mazari on Wednesday announced parting of ways with the party, citing policy differences and its takeover by ‘corrupt’ elements.

Dr Mazari, according to a PTI report, was served a show cause notice on September 19, charging her for “Making unfounded, incorrect, inaccurate and false statements in the media.”

PTI chairman’s phone call to Dr Mazari on Tuesday, asking her to tender an apology to Jehangir Tareen for her public outbursts, seems to have been the final nail in the coffin.

She said that she was left alone among the flood affected people of Rajanpur, while Imran Khan went to Awais Leghari’s area and ignored her request.
