Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior Pir Muhammad Aminul Hasnat Shah is all set to join Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) today (Saturday).

Pir Muhammad Aminul Hasnat Shah, who has served as minister of state for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony during the tenure of the PML-N government from 2013-18, will join PTI along with his companions today. A special ceremony will be held in his hometown, Bhera.

Meanwhile, the PTI leaders, including Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Asad Umar, and Fawad Chaudhary, would extend a warm welcome to the former minister to their party.

Welcoming him in PTI, Fawad Chaudhry termed his inclusion as ‘very important. He said “Pir Sahib” and his family had influence in all over Pakistan, including Sargodha and Rawalpindi divisions.

The announcement of Pir Hasnat joining PTI is a blow to the PML-N as general elections are scheduled to take place later this year as the tenure of the current National Assembly ends in August.
