Sharif Khan Khilji Resigns from PPP, Joins PTI

In a surprising turn of events, PPP leader Sharif Khan Khilji has announced his resignation from the Pakistan Peoples Party and his decision to join the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Khilji cited his disillusionment with the PPP, stating that the party had become dominated by the Zardari family rather than upholding the legacy of Bhutto.

Khilji expressed his dissatisfaction with the electoral process, labeling the February 8, 2024, election as a 'selection' rather than a fair election. Despite the PPP's presence in the Balochistan government, Khilji emphasized his desire to serve the underprivileged and stated that his decision to switch parties was driven by a genuine commitment to helping the poor.

Highlighting his principles, Khilji emphasized that his entry into politics was not motivated by personal gain or financial incentives. He underscored the importance of taking a stand against corruption and noted the difference between the current Prime Minister and the founding principles of the PTI.

Khilji revealed that the Balochistan government had attempted to dissuade him from joining the PTI by offering financial inducements, but his dedication to serving the marginalized population remained steadfast.

Sharif Khan Khilji's decision to resign from the PPP and join the PTI underscores the shifting political landscape in Pakistan. His emphasis on integrity, commitment to social welfare, and rejection of corruption highlight the challenges faced by politicians striving to uphold ethical standards in a complex political environment.
