Chaudhry Wajahat leaves Elahi group as more PTI leaders quit party

Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain has left the Pervaiz Elahi group, while former Provincial Minister of Punjab for Auqaf and Religious Affairs Pir Syed Saeedul Hassan Shah and Faizullah Kamuka parted ways from the PTI.

Since the events of May 9, dozens of PTI workers and leaders have left their party. It all started when former MNA Mehmood Maulvi from Karachi left the Imran Khan-led party.

Pervaiz Elahi’s brother Chaudhry Wajahat strongly condemned the May 9 events and announced leaving the alliance with his brother.

Talking to the media along with other leaders, Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain said that the whole of Pakistan is condemning the May 9 events. “We also condemn the attacks on military installations.”

He said that pray that in the coming days, the whole family should come together. “Maybe those who put cracks should gather there, I have no connection with PTI.”

Moreover, addressing a press conference in Lahore, PTI West Punjab president Faizullah Kamoka, condemning the May 09 events also, announced to leave the party.

Faizullah said: “I am not involved in any vandalism, and took the decision to leave PTI without any pressure. I am resigning from the chairmanship of PTI West Punjab, now I have to decide whether to do politics or not.”

Hassan Shah, who joined PTI in 2018 after winning as an independent candidate from PP-46 Zafarwal, also announced to quit PTI.

He said, “I fully supported the PTI on every front, but what happened on May 9 hurt me and the people of the constituency.”

The former minister said that Zafarwal is the land of martyrs and Ghazis. “We have always given respect and respect to the officers and troops of the Pakistan Army. Martyrs’ memorials and military establishments were attacked on May 9.”
