Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has confirmed that PTI has honoured Chief Minister Punjab Pervaiz Elahi for standing with the party by appointing him as the President.
The PTI chief claimed that the establishment pressurised Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and had even offered them money. “They were threatened that there is no future for them with PTI”, he added.
Appreciating Pervaiz Elahi and Moonis Elahi for their efforts, especially for dissolving the Punjab Assembly on Khan’s directives, IK further stated that Pervaiz Elahi and his son stayed loyal to PTI.
On Tuesday, Moonis and his father formally joined the PTI with ten other former members of the Provincial Assembly of the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q). Whereas PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain dismissed Elahi from his party post and terminated his basic membership on Tuesday.
