In a political shift, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Deputy Information Secretary Sajid Qureshi has announced his decision to join the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) along with his associates.

In this regard, he met Governor Saleem Haider Hoti at the Governor House Lahore, during which the current political situation and party affairs were also discussed.

In a meeting, the current political landscape and party affairs were discussed. He also welcomed Qureshi in PPP fold.

Governor Saleem Haider stated that people of Pakistan have once again rejected the politics of protest, referring to the recent call for agitation on August 5.

The governor also said that their hard work will not go in vain, as the PPP always respects its workers.

“The public and political workers are exhausted by continuous protests and sit-ins. It’s time to focus on development, stability, and the strengthening of democracy,” the Governor stated. He emphasized that Pakistan can no longer afford disruptive politics, adding that elements attempting to spread unrest have been clearly rejected by the people.

Saleem Haider said that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is a strong arm of the party and I myself am a Jayala worker who was honored by the party and made the governor of Punjab. He said that the new workers who join the party will soon be close to Bilawal Bhutto.

According to the statement of Governor Hoti said that PPP is the party that stands by its workers in all circumstances, that is why workers from other parties are returning in large numbers.

On this occasion, Sajid Qureshi said that his departure from the party was driven by frustration over politics of protests, narratives and national interests. He also stated that he is hopeful about PPP’s leadership and believes in more constructive political path ahead.
