Another key politician of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former minister Farrukh Habib announced to quit the party on Monday.
According to the 24News HD TV channel, Farrukh Habib who was considered one of the close aides of PTI Chairman Imran Khan during the last regime also announced to join the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP).
Farrukh Habib had disappeared for the last several months and suddenly appeared before the media and announced separating his ways with Imran Khan in a press conference.
Interestingly, he reached the office of the newly established political party, the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) and held a press conference there.
Talking to media persons, Farrukh Habib said for the last five months, there was a thought in his mind about parting away to the PTI and Chairman Imran Khan.
The former minister also said that after the events of May 9, they were away from home.
He accepted that the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan was constitutionally presented and instead of political struggle, they adopted the ways of anarchy.
He said the incident of May 9 was tragic, adding that people came out of their houses due to the brainwashing of PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
He said a few people had special instructions that day from PTI Chairman Imran Khan which he was not aware of. He said Imran Khan wants people to fight for him on the streets.
After distrust, we were not allowed to sit with China.
He said PTI Chairman Imran Khan used the Cypher as a political narrative.
He also said that they strongly criticized Nawaz Sharif and Zardari a lot in the matter of Toshakhan but were not aware that PTI Chairman Imran Khan himself was taking advantage of it.
He said they were asked to defend the indefensible issue of Toshakhona on the media while they had no idea that Imran Khan was involved in taking watches from Toshakhana himself.
About the Al-Qadir University issue, he said the project of the university was passed in a sealed envelope.
He said former Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar could have not defended himself and they [PTI leaders] continued to defend him in the masses for three and a half years as the wife of the Chairman, Bushra Bibi, passed his name.
Farrukh said if anyone disagrees with Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, then he or she doesn't know whether he or she can enter Zaman Park or not in future.
Announcing joining the IPP, Farrukh Habib said IPP leader Aun Chaudhary is his brother and if they can work for PTI together then they can also work for IPP.
Answering different queries, he said he got the information about PTI Chairman Imran Khan's arrest from the family.
He confirmed that people went out to fight with their own forces on the brainwashing of Imran Khan. He added that the peaceful sleep of Pakistanis in their beds at night is a fruit of Pak forces' role at the border.
He said all the ministers who were present in the cypher meeting in which US diplomats were to be demarched had left the party [PTI] as the PTI Chairman always used people like tissue paper.
