She said the mafia occupying the PPP at present had ignored the committed workers and that was the main reason they were joining the PTI. Durr-e-Shahsawar Neelam said that she had been in politics for the last 15 years and was sure that only the PTI chief Imran Khan had the ability to steer the country out of the crisis.
