ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan announced that from today (Sunday) he had parted ways with his elected party President Javed Hashmi.
“I am disappointed with Javed Hashmi,” Khan told protestors from atop his container.
Khan’s announcement came after Javed Hashmi said the PTI chairman made the decision to march towards the PM House after receiving a message from Sheikh Rasheed and Saifullah Niazi. During a news conference Hashmi further said that Imran Khan would be responsible if democracy was derailed.
Khan further announced that three PTI MNAs who had not submitted their resignations from Parliament were also expelled from the party.
Imran Khan reiterated that the PTI would not leave until Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigned. Imran rallied protesters to be prepared tonight. According to Khan he had heard that the police would be coming to arrest him and Dr Tahirul Qadri, adding that if the police came they would be ready for them.
Imran Khan further said two police officers had resigned after refusing to use force against protesters.
