Former PTI founding member Fauzia Kasuri joins PSP

Disenchanted Kasuri resigned from PTI on May 23

Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) founding member Fauzia Kasuri on Thursday announced joining Mustafa Kamal-led Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP).

The move by Kasuri came a day after she announced parting ways with PTI. Sitting next to the PSP chairperson, the former PTI founding member announced her decision.

The loss of Kasuri came as a crucial blow to Imran Khan's party as she said the party handed the reigns to those they had opposed since the party's inception. She termed it as the "final nail in the coffin" and said she cannot defend the party's actions anymore.



“It should come as no surprise to you that I have decided to leave the PTI,” her resignation letter read.

Thanking party chairman Imran for providing her a platform, she said she had grown disenchanted with the direction the party had taken post 2013. Kasuri added that the PTI was longer representative of the aspirations of millions of citizens wanting transformative change.

Wishing luck to Imran, she expressed hope that the PTI chief would strive to bring about the very change he once vowed to bring if presented the opportunity to form government.
