Amid the ongoing leaders’ mass exodus from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan Friday lost two more wickets — singer-turned-politician Abrarul Haq and Senator Saifullah Nyazee.
Expressing their regret over the May 9 mayhem, the PTI leaders announced quitting the party during two separate press conferences in Lahore and Islamabad today.
The PTI leaders’ mass exodus started when the security forces launched a crackdown against the party following the attacks on the civil and military institutions, including the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi and the Lahore Corps Commander’s House (Jinnah House).
The riots were triggered by PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s arrest from Islamabad High Court in the Al-Qadir Trust graft case on May 9 — a day the army dubbed as “Black Day”.
Addressing a presser in Lahore, Haq said: “I regret standing with Imran Khan.”
