Yet another local leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Balochistan, Sardar Niamatullah Khan parted ways with the party. Addressing a press conference at Quetta Press Club on Thursday evening, Khan said May 9th incidents forced him to quit PTI. Other tribal elders who were also part of the former ruling party also jumped ship.
“This organized vandalism is intolerable, we strongly condemn such incidents against the state and state institutions,” Sardar Niamatullah Khan said. He said under a preplanned conspiracy, the rioters belonging to with the PTI stormed the Jinnah House and the GHQ main gate to malign the country in and outside. “This is why, we have decided to bid farewell to the party,” he mentioned.
He demanded of the federal government to take strict action against the elements involved in the May 9th mayhem. In Balochistan, the Provincial Minister for Industries, Mobeen Khilji has already resigned from PTI because of its involvement in the May 9 violent protests.
