Rabiz Zia, PTI coordinator from UK chapter has joined Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) after meetinhg party leadership in Lahore. Few days back she resigned/left Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). She was one of those members of PTI who were the ideological members. It is a big setback for PTI after the departures of ideological members and assets like Shireen Mazari and Admiral (Retd) Javed Iqbal.
All of these three political leaders left the party after on grounds of differences over party policies. However some leaders in the PTI have said that the common cause of resignations of ideological members seems to be the takeover of party positions by new heavyweight politicians.
In the coming days it is expected that some more politicians will leave PTI and will join other parties mostly PML-N. According to sources in PTI, Imran Khan is not worried about those politicians leaving the party who have joined recently but he is not happy after ideological members have left the party.
