Jamshed Cheema, wife Musarrat decide to quit PTI
Pakistan
The development was confirmed by their lawyer after meeting with them in jail
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) suffered a fresh blow as Jamshed Cheema and his wife Musarrat Cheema have decided to part ways with embattled Imran Khan.
The development was confirmed by their lawyer who stated that he held separate meetings with them in jail. “I am confident that they would quit the PTI as soon as they come out of jail,” he said.
The husband-wife duo has been detained for the last 12 days in the wake of the May 9 protests that had erupted following the arrest of PTI chief Imran Khan in a corruption case related to the Al-Qadir Trust.
Earlier, several PTI leaders, including Malik Aslam Amin and Hisham Inamullah, have parted ways with the party over May 9 vandalism when angry PTI protesters attacked public and military installations in various cities.
A day earlier, Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain announced his departure from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and reached out to his brother Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid) chief, to unite the country through politics.
