LAHORE: In what appears to be a political fallout of televangelist and religious scholar Amir Liaquat Hussain’s association with the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), a staunch loyalist of the party announced to distance himself from supporting party chief Imran Khan.
Ahmad announced to cut ties with the party after cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan in an unexpected press conference welcomed Amir Liaquat to the party fold.
In a reaction to this new addition to the party, he said: “After 35 years of defending, supporting & justifying @ImranKhanPTI to the world , i no longer can. i fear that reptiles surround him.”

Amir Liaquat’s joining the PTI seemed to have left many of its followers shocked and upset as they believe his image does not make him worthy of such honor.
Supporters didn’t shy away from venting their anger on social media where they criticized and questioned the addition of Aamir Liaquat to the party.
Aamir Liaqat…. the man who can play KHATME NABWAAT card in Pakistan & MOHAJIR card in Karachi. He can go at any level but not trustworthy. #AamirLiaquat #KickOutAamir

Aamir Liaquat has joined the PTI.
Okay, so I quit being a PTI supporter and voter now. It was fun fighting for the PTI I believed in for six years without being a party member/official.
