ISLAMABAD – Former leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Lieutenant Colonel (r) Ghulam Rasool Sahi resigned from his National Assembly seat and joined Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Thursday.
Media reports suggest Sahi had differences with party policies which prompted him to leave the party, that is currently battling hard to fend off criticism stemming out of former premier Nawaz Sharif’s statement on Mumbai attacks.
Ghulam Rasool Sahi was elected as MNA from NA-75 in Faisalabad after bagging 1,30,300 votes in 2013 elections.

The recent statement of ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif has sparked anger among the lawmakers as several PML-N leaders have expressed concerns during the recent parliamentary meeting headed by newly-elected party president and Chief Minister of Punjab, Shehbaz Sharif.
Earlier, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif spurned the statement released by high-profile National Security Committee comprising his successor Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, over the Mumbai attacks.
