Fourteen members of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf in the KP assembly have ‘revolted’ against policies of their own government in the province and formed a separate faction.
The ‘focal person’ of the group Qurban Ali Khan, has claimed that a few other lawmakers are likely to join the ranks of dissidents. He declined to disclose the lawmakers’ names.
“At present 14 lawmakers have formed a bloc and some others will join them in two or three days,” he told the media
He was accompanied by Javed Nasim from Peshawar, who a few months ago had submitted an application to the speaker seeking a separate seat in the assembly.
Qurban Ali Khan alleged that incapable people had been inducted into the cabinet and accused them of being involved in irregularities.
“Some people are trying to hijack the vision of Chairman Imran Khan,” he said and accused the party’s provincial leadership of having deviated from the party’s manifesto.
