Former APML chairman Dr Amjad joins PTI
52
Former All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) chairman Dr Muhammad Amjad was welcomed into Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) by party head and Prime Minister Imran Khan, DawnNewsTV reported on Friday.
Secretary General of PTI Arshad Dad and PM's special adviser Naeemul Haq were present during the meeting.
"I have complete faith in PTI's manifesto and leadership," Dr Amjad said while adding that Prime Minister Khan's government is working on an agenda of reforms for the country.
"Even in its initial days, the PTI government has brought the country on a track that leads to success," the newly inducted member of PTI said.
He added: "I will join the captain's caravan to lead the country towards success."
Dr Amjad quit the chairmanship of APML, founded by ex-military ruler retired general Pervez Musharraf, on August 10, 2018 — less than two months after being nominated as the chairman by Musharraf in his place. A statement from the party at the time had said Dr Amjad would take care of Musharraf’s legal matters after resigning from the chairmanship.
In July 2018, Dr Amjad had quit the race for NA-53 Islamabad-II in favour of the PTI chairman after a meeting with him at Banigala.
Dr Amjad had also withdrawn APML’s Ashraf Shehzad Khan from NA-54 Islamabad-III in favour of PTI’s Asad Umar.

Yet another addition to already over crowded cabinet very well proves without any shadow of doubt that y favorite PM Imran not only professes austerity and less expenses but also demonstrates the same to be honest. Any chance for the one who loves you for decades? Iqbal Hadi Zaidi

Another disappointed politician joined PTI and left his disintegrated party. I think politicians, buearocrates and general public are beginning to realise the gradual change PM Imran Khan intend to bring and care for poor people by providing them education, health care, clean water and job opportunities along with economic stability. Public is fed up with corrupt mafia, their dirty tricks and how they looted tax payers money and left country in financial mess. Say NO to corruption and corrupt mafia and their black activities!

PTI and APML are same in ideology with zero tolerance to corruption. Mr Musharraf have already quitted politics so APML must now merged with PTI.

First 2 years of Musharraf were good in terms of steps taken and decisions made until he became greedy for power and stared to believe that he is the only savior of the country and of democracy. He was a army general and not a political leader, a reality which he should have accepted instead of having an identity crises.

Dr Amjad is a well connected man, certainly he will be an asset for PTI. And he can also continue defending the interests of his friend Gen Pervez Musharraf, who is certainly facing political victimization by the two COD- parties.
