In another development today, the member of the provincial assembly (MPA) from Peshawar, Liaquat Khattak’s son Ahad Khattak has announced to join PPP.
Earlier on October 26, Liaquat Khan Khattak, the brother of Defence Minister Pervez Khattak, had decided to leave Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and join Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
Liaquat Khattak had decided to leave the PTI after his dealing with the PPP was finalised. “He had met Asif Zardari and other PPP leaders previously,” they said.
Liaquat Khattak was elected a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly member from PK-64 on a PTI ticket.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Mahmood Khan had earlier removed KP Irrigation Minister Liaquat Khattak over violating party policy in the PK-63 by-poll.
Advisor to the KP Chief Minister on Information and Higher Education Kamran Bangash said in a statement that CM Mahmood removed him after carrying out an inquiry against him.
