LONDON: Former leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Justice (R) Wajihuddin has decided to form his own political party after pulling out from PTI led by Imran Khan.
Justice Wajih announced his decision talking to this correspondent here in an exclusive interview for Geo News, announcing that he saw the way forward for him was to make his own party to provide an alternative platform to the masses.
Justice Wajih said that the name of his party will be announced in a couple of weeks.
He criticised the PTI policies. He was of the view that Imran Khan is running his party as one man show and there is no space for commoners.
Responding to a question, Justice Wajih said that his party will not represent left nor right but will be a central party. He told that the constitution and manifesto comprising 100 pages is ready to display. He was confident to win election and to form government in general election 2018.
Justice Wajid resigned from the basic membership of the party few days ago and said that it was impossible for him to stay in the party that he played a founding role in.
He said that it was unfortunate that the PTI has lost direction and a group of rich people have taken over it through dubious means. Justice Wajih said that there was no place left for the ideological workers in the PTI and there was no point for him to stay in the PTI anymore.
Justice Wajih is on a family visit and will return soon after getting consultation with his family and friends.
