LAHORE: The disgruntled Fauzia Kasuiri met Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan at his Zaman Park residence in Lahore, two days after she left party over claims of ‘unjust’ distribution of party tickets on reserved seats.
During the meeting, the matter of her resignation from the party also came under discussion, sources in the PTI confirmed. Moreover, Imran Khan asked Kasuri to reconsider her decision to leave the party, they said.
“I met IK tonight in Lhr. Mashallah, he is looking good and getting better,” said Kasuri in a message on social networking website Twitter.
Kasuri, former President Woman Wing of PTI, in her earlier tweet had dispelled speculation that she was joining another political party.
Another meeting between Khan and Kasuri is expected to take place later today.
Kasuri was ‘ignored’ by the party on the issue and tickets for the seats in question were awarded to Dr Shirin Mazari and Munazza Hassan, prompting Kasuri to leave the party.
The PTI on its official website had subsequently accused her of violating party discipline.
