He said “I joined the PTI in July 2018 and was elected to the provincial assembly in August 2019 to serve the people.” After May 9 incident, he said that it was difficult for him to continue his association and affiliation with PTI. “I am quitting the PTI because the country is supreme for me as compared to party politics,” he concluded.
