“I have decided to resign from my National Assembly seat," Chaudhary said, adding, "I have handed over my resignation letter to [PTI chairman] Imran Khan and joined his fight against corruption.”
Chaudhary was addressing the media in Islamabad along with Imran Khan and other senior party leaders who were present at his residence to celebrate his decision to join the party.
“The current government has failed to facilitate masses,” Chaudhary added, elaborating on his decision to resign from the ruling PML-N.
Further, he said that he would address supporters from atop Imran's container later in the evening to explain the reasons behind his decision to join the PTI.
Speaking at the occasion, Imran alleged Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has given key posts to his relatives instead of deserving PML-N MNAs.
Last night, while addressing his supporters, Imran using cricket jargon claimed that a major wicket of the PML-N would fall today (Saturday), an apparent reference to the PML-N MNA joining PTI.
Chaudhary was elected from NA-108, Mandi Bahauddin constituency during the May 2013 general elections. He contested as an independent candidate and joined PML-N after defeating PML-N MNA Mumtaz Tarrar.

@HHF: Allah swt sve us, Pakistanis from ignorant people like yourself, who do not know the difference beTween good and bad, honest and corrupt ........ My letter will not be displayed, I have never understood why.
yes javed hasmi left PTI and then the worst happend to him...It's not about leaving..it's about joining PTI..whoever joins PTI..Even Allah starts helping him
@Real Truth: So Imran Khan is welcoming another gut like Shaikh Rasheed and Chaudhry Shujaat to the sore losers party of anarchists and dharnas. Aijaz Cahaudry joining PTI shows us the real face of PTI and why no one believes in Naya Pakistan created from the worst of lotas and a guy with a phiney degree. Aijaz was about to be kicked out by Nawaz Sharif! Imran Khan is making Nawaz Sharif look better by the day!
@Uza Syed: Wow ........ interesting you say, "I’m hoping this defection is beginning of an end for any role of thugs in politics in Pakistan." For your kind information, a "thug" is exactly what IK is accepting in PTI. The guy had a fake degree, and once proven that he had lied about his degree, he was de-seated by the election tribunal, and is currently on crutches of a "stay-order" -- same stay order that IK complains about and abhors so much :-) Go figure!
If JH leaves PTI, he was a wolf in sheep skin, good he left. If Aijaz joins PTI the change has started and it is his 'zameer ki awaz'.Only lotacracy was left even that has started in PTI. Mark my word he will not stay in PTI for more than a year.He will end up like Qasim Umer in the Pakistan team.He will be labelled with the same kind of adjectives like JH from the top of the container after a year (because the dharna will still be continuing after a year).
If a person ask for forgiveness about his past he should be forgiven and let him start from fresh.
Go Corruption Go There are large number of stupids here who weep on inflation and corruption. Still voting to corrupt fathers. And due these stupid we can't stand against them.
Well done. More should leave the "King's" party.
Asslam o elecum May ALLAH give us baseerat and we can see who is good for our country and our deen but what current govt is delivering seems to me not accordingly
@dr so: Even Nawaz Sharrif has a fake degree. Why do you support him.
Hey he is the one with fake degree and pmln was about to disqualify him. Now he will say just because I joined pti I got victimised. PTI the bully untouchable team. Well done. He knows his politics
Aijaz Chaudhary will repent soon like Javed Hashmi.
Time to celebrate or be ashamed! Insaafians latest dilemma, as PTI becomes a 'typical' political party welcoming tainted MNA's lotas into its fold. No change! Status Quo Zindabad!
@AK: and he lost by election.
What new is done by Imran? Same traditional politics of horse trading.
He fought as an independent and later joined the ruling party only to mint some perks which he failed and left exasperatedly - good riddance!!! How this can be termed a major PMLN wicket? Does he have any position in party? Does any joe have heard of him in national politics? On the contrary Javed Hashmi's fallout has been a major blow to PTI's credibility as Hashmi is not only an accredited politician having nation-wide audience but also an ideologue and President of the party!!!!!
Wrong decision by Aijaz Chaudhary. He has joined PTI that is led by most selfish and liar politician. Imran does not care about Pakistan. He is only concerned about himself that why he is not PM of Pakistan. Allah save Pakistan from PTI rule.
Finally! Let's hope and look forward to more such people to finally wake up and see the popular sentiments against bunch of mobsters running our country in the name of elections and elected government. I'm hoping this defection is beginning of an end for any role of thugs in politics in Pakistan.
If Javed Hashmi leaves PTI, he is massively criticized by PTI trolls. But when any electable irrespective of his previous track record joins PTI, he is welcomed. I think there is no merit in PTI. Imran Khan is doing the same traditional politics like other politicians. Where is Change promised by Imran?
No merit in PTI. Any electable can join the party without any merit. That is why I left PTI. Only criteria is that the person should be electable.
What a politics of my dear Captain! Naya Pakistan will be now consist of Fake degree holders. Hurrah...
Who cares? I don't think anyone's even heard of him... what major wicket?
Javed Hashmi left PTI - that is a statement.
Good move by PML (N) MNA. It is very strange he has contested as an independent candidate and joined PML (N) for lust of power. Since Nawaz Sharif is giving key posts to his relatives and friends so this MNA is over looked by him.
Corruption has taken very strong root in the country. We are looking one side of the picture the bigger picture is corruption is not only in Ministry,politicians and leaders levels it is among Government employees as well.
I initially thought PTI punjab president Ejaz Chaudhary finally seriously resigned from his assembly seat.
But no,he isn't serious about resigning so he won't appear before speaker to get his resignation verified..
This proves that people want change and even ready to leave government for this noble purpose.
No mention of his disqualification over fake degree?
iam from his constituency and I support pmln ! there have been news about his fake degree here and pmln wasn't happy with him he was threatened to be disqualified but thanks to pti's sacred membership now he can cash his leaving parliament and hurl the accusations that the fake degree trail is politically motivated ! and I hope that et will censor me
Ajaz Chaudhry .......you have done the right thing .Pakistan has changed you have made the right decision and many more PML N MNA and MPA and senators will follow same .
Ajaz Chaudhary well done
