ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Zia (PML-Z) Chairman Ijazul Haq has denied the rumours of merger of his party with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Ijaz, the son of former army chief (the late) Ziaul Haq, rejected the rumours in reply to a letter issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on May 5 in which he was asked to clarify his party's status and intra-party polls for the forthcoming general election.
He said there was no reality in reports of merger of the PML-Z with the PTI. He clarified that during his meeting with Imran Khan, he discussed coalition prospects with the PTI but not a merger.
It may be noted that the media reported on March 19 that Ijaz formally joined the PTI after they met in Lahore. Ijaz did not deny the news at that time.
