Karachi (Web Desk): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) leader Mahmood Maulvi on Tuesday announced to quit the party and resigned as Member of National Assembly (MNA) saying there was ‘no justification’ for going against the security forces.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, he categorically stated that he “never has” and “never will” go against the security forces.
"When I joined PTI, I was very clear that this is a peaceful party and they do not have any militant wings," he said.
Maulvi disclosed that party workers had been discussing before May 9 that they would go to the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi in case Imran Khan was arrested.
Muhmood said that he told them to refrain from fighting against the army as there was no reason for it.
Maulvi said neither did he know the people who participated in the violent protests, nor was he a part of them,
He said that the actions of those involved in the riots were "indefensible".
Maulvi said that he might join a charitable organisation or form a new political party.
Mahmood Maulvi was elected from Karachi’s NA-245 constituency on a PTI ticket in 2022.
