Humayun Akhtar joins IPP

LAHORE: Senior politician Humayun Akhtar Khan joined the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) on Saturday.

Addressing a press conference flanked by IPP patron-in-chief Jahangir Khan Tareen and IPP President Abdul Aleem Khan, Humayun said: “I have spent a long time with the IPP friends. The higher power has once again united us.”

He recalled the events that transpired on May 9, saying, “I have parted ways with the Tehreek-e-Insaf after the May 9 vandalism when the military installations were attacked.”

“Jahangir Tareen is my elder and Aleem Khan is my younger brother,” Humayun said.

He bemoaned the poverty and unemployment in the country.

Tareen and Aleem welcomed Humayun Akhtar. “It is a matter of great delight that Humayun has joined IPP and he is designated as party’s senior vice president,” Tareen stated.

Meanwhile, Aleem Khan commended Akhtar’s role in the country’s political landscape and hoped that the new entrant would strengthen the IPP besides the entire country.
