New recruit: Afzal Sindhu chooses PTI over PPP

Published: July 16, 2012

The party will soon make a formal announcement: PTI official

KARACHI: Former law minister and a Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) member, Afzal Sindhu, has decided to join the swelling ranks of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI).

According to a PTI official, Sindhu has joined the party and a formal announcement in this will be made at press conference soon.

Sindhu was recently appointed as a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) member to help the inexperienced PAC chairman Nadeem Afzal Chan.

Earlier this year, Mohammad Amir Khan Khalil Mullazai of Pakistan People’s Party-Sherpao (PPP-S) announced that he would be joining the PTI.

    Joing PTI means retiring from politics and public service. JH and SMQ are prime examples.

    Gilani in fact and dented the image of PPP through his bad governance. Hard to face the people in general elections and many more will leave the PPP.

    All old professional politicians are changing parties and cleansing themselves. These lifelong politicians would become anew to bring revolution? Let us take naive Pakistanis for yet another ride!

    What a stupid mistake! PTI is for losers. Imran does not have any plans for the country. If he believes in Pakistan let him bring up his sons in Pakistan.

    There is no point in hiring people when there is no work. PTI should send these people to other parties on deputation.

    Line A: Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Syed Ameer Ali, HHSir Sultan Mohammad Aga Khan and Jinnah. Line B Sir Iqbal, Maulana Maududi, Allama Asad and Shabir Ahmad Usmani. IK tends to fall in Line B no matter how hard he tries to gives examples of the British or Scandinavian socities progress.
