PTI Sindh vice president Mehmood Moulvi parts ways
On Tuesday, PTI Sindh senior vice president Mehmood Moulvi parted ways with the party and resigned as Member of the National Assembly (MNA) from NA-245 (Karachi East-IV) as well.
Mr Mehmood said even India could not have vandalised the martyrs’ graveyards, adding that the attacks on them disappointed him. “It is not suitable to fight the army,” he added. He was not a part of the team, he said, that attacked security installments.
“I am not blaming Mr Khan as he is not responsible for everything”, he said, adding that whoever advised so was PTI’s enemy. “We cannot [even] collect 25000 people for a protest in Karachi and then claim that people are with us,” he criticised.
