Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Sunday terminated its alliance with Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government.
According to party sources, QWP refused to support PTI on Panamagate issue.Two QWP ministers, Sikandar Sherpao and Aneesa Zaib, have stepped down.
QWP chief Aftab Sherpao said driving his party out of the provincial government was a violation of a written agreement by the ruling Tehreek-e-Insaf. “Imran Khan is isolating himself and it appears that the PTI wants itself to be politically martyred.”
This is the second time that PTI ended its fragile alliance with QWP in four years. The PTI said its ally in the province didn’t support its stance on Panama Papers case in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
In 2013, PTI chairman Imran Khan ended his party’s alliance with QWP alleging two of its ministers of corruption.
