PTI lost another wicket from Karachi over the May 9 ‘Black Day’ vandalism!

Aftab Hussain Siddiqui, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Karachi chapter president, announced parting ways with the former ruling party and also quitting politics in protest against May 9 vandalism.

Aftab Siddiqui has been a Member of the National Assembly (MNA) from Karachi’s NA-247 constituency.

 

In a series of tweets on Sunday, the now-former member of PTI announced his decision.

“I have always aspired to see Pakistan prosperous. As a peaceful citizen and a true patriot, the violence that took place in the events on May 9th and the attack on national monuments and Yaadgaar-e-Shahuda, has left me dismayed and I condemn the same,” Siddiqui wrote.

“I have decided to step aside from politics, and therefore, am resigning from my position as President of PTI Karachi and MNA. I will continue to serve my country in my individual capacity working for the betterment of the people, and as a businessman contributing to the economy,” he added.
