ISLAMABAD: Suspended by his party following allegations against Imran Khan, the estranged elected president of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Javed Hashmi announced his resignation from the party presidency and its membership on Thursday.
Hashmi said that he could no longer continue his membership with a party ‘conspiring’ to dismantle democracy in Pakistan.
“There are a few hypocrites with Imran,” Hashmi said adding, “I have told him the bad times have begun for his party.”
Earlier, PTI had suspended the membership of Hashmi and had summoned him to the party secretariat to explain his case on September 29.
PTI leader Shafqat Mehmood said Hashmi had failed to explain his position as asked by the PTI. “The party will take appropriate action in this case,” he said.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan had earlier announced that he had parted ways with Hashmi for opposing the march on the Prime Minister’s House. INTERNEWS
