FAISALABAD: The Opposition Leader in the National Assembly, Raja Riaz on Monday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan should resign from the Chairmanship after the Election Commission’s decision in the foreign funding case.
During a press conference in Faisalabad, Raja Riaz said that he was elected on PTI’s ticket and had been rebelling for a long time. He made it clear that he might be the opposition leader from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf but he’s still a disgruntled member and has no wish to sort things out with the PTI Chairman.
“Making peace with Imran Khan would be treason to the country,” he added.
Raja Riaz also expressed his support for the incumbent Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). He said that the CEC is doing the right thing and he has no objection to it.
It is pertinent to mention here that Raja Riaz was associated with PTI, but before no-trust motion against former PM Imran Khan, he along with 24 other PTI MNAs defected and started supporting opposition parties, which lead to the ouster of Imran Khan by a no-trust motion in April.
After Shehbaz Sharif became Prime Minister, Raja Riaz was appointed as opposition leader in the lower house of the parliament.
