PTI women activists in Peshawar join PML-N

PTI rife with violation of merit, claims former party activist.

PESHAWAR: Former District President Pakistan Tehreek-i -Insaf (PTI) women’s wing Peshawar Farzana Zain announced she was ending her 16 year long association with the party and joining the PML-N along with her associates.   

Addressing a press conference at the Peshawar Press Club, Zain said that the cricketer-turned philanthropist politician led a movement for justice that had turned into a "movement for injustice".

The former PTI activist alleged that the PTI was rife with violation of merit, along with personal likes and dislikes in matters including the intra-party polls and distribution of tickets for the upcoming general elections. She said that despite bringing the situation to the PTI chairman’s attention, no action was taken, which left her with no other option but to quit the party.

Those present on the occasion included central secretary information PML-N Youth Wing Ali Yusufzai, provincial chief organizer PML-N Youth Women Wing Sobia Khan and others.

Sobia Khan welcomed Zain and other women into the PML-N  fold and assured them of due respect and honour in the party.
