ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Usman Tarakai joined the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on Wednesday.

Addressing a press conference flanked by Mr Tarakai, PPP leader Faisal Karim Kundi said, "Those who are joining the PPP have been welcomed by the leadership. I welcome Usman Tarakai to the PPP."

Taking a jibe at PTI chief Imran Khan, Mr Kundi said, "Imran Khan has done nothing for the country except to deceive the people".
