Dr Israr Shah to join PTI today

ISLAMABAD: Dr Israr Shah, a senior member of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), who lost both of his legs for the cause of the party, has decided to end his 42-year long association with the party while announcing his new political carreer by joining the caravan of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf of Imran Khan.

Dr Israr Shah, whose basic membership of the party and Central Executive Committee was suspended for the last two years for raising voice against corruption in the government, will announce joining Imran Khan today.

PTI Chairman Imran Khan will welcome the former PPP stalwart into his party at the party secretariat here in the afternoon. “What I expect from the PTI is due respect and nothing else: there are so many things on which Imran Khan and I are on one page,” Shah said while talking to The News here.

ISLAMABAD: After decades long association, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) stalwart Dr Israr Shah has decided to quit the party to join Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The formal announcement of Shah joining the PTI will be made on Thursday (today) evening, during a press conference with Khan.
Shah had lost both of his legs during a party rally held in favour of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry in Islamabad on July 17, 2007. He was a close ally of former PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto and was considered to be one of the pioneers of the party.
However, after writing a letter against Babar Awan’s nomination as the law minister in 2008, Shah infuriated PPP co-chairman President Asif Ali Zardari who cancelled his membership from the Central Executive Committee.
Furthermore, after the recent nomination of Aitzaz Ahsan for the Senate seats, Shah lost his last hope with the party and decided to switch.

Seasoned and honest politicians r leaving Nawaz & Zardari one by one, the best thing both cud do right now is to merge thier parties, form a one single party of commission makers & robbers.
