Now the PTI member is about to launch her own political group, under the name PTI-G
LAHORE: Last year, PTI’s, Ayesha Khan Gulalai, accused her party chairman Imran Khan of harassment and inappropriate behaviour. While many supported Gulalai and demanded a inquiry into the matter, few called it a politically-calculated move. Adamant to prove the veracity of her claims, Gulalai refused to resign from both the PTI and her seat in the National Assembly. Now the PTI member is about to launch her own political group, under the name PTI-G.
With this, the MNA has politicised the whole issue of harassment claims against a figure relatively more powerful and resourceful compared to her. Moreover, amid all this, the real matter has been left behind, as more than anything Gulalai’s struggle to bring her alleged harasser to justice has gradually transformed into a pitch to launch her own party yet with the same name given to the real PTI by the alleged accused.
