IB ex-chief Masood Sharif joins PTI

ISLAMABAD: Former chief of Intelligence Bureau (IB) Major (Retd) Masood Sharif Khattak joined Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on Friday.

Khattak, who had resigned from Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in 2007, announced to join PTI in a press conference at his residence alongside the PTI Chairman, Imran Khan.
Khattak said that PTI would create a new political culture in Pakistan. 
Aside from Khattak, reports said, former PPP stalwart Shah Mehmood Qureshi is expected to resign from his NA seat to join the PTI. He is expected to make an official announcement during a rally to be held in Kashmore on November 27.
As alliances continue to be forged, the PTI has called a crucial party meeting on November 13 to review its anti-government and anti-Nawaz campaign and to discuss forging alliances with like-minded groups and parties for the next general election. Online
