HARIPUR: Former Member National Assembly Sardar Mushtaq Khan has rejoined the Pakistan Muslim Nawaz (PML-N) unconditionally after remaining estranged from it for more than six years.
Over 60 supporters of Mushtaq, most of them councillors and village councils’ nazims, were among those who announced their joining the PML-N at a public gathering held in Kotnajibullah here.
Sardar Mushtaq, who has been among staunch supporters of Nawaz Sharif, joined the party during the early 1990s and remained MPA twice.
He won election on the PML-N’s ticket from NA-17 Haripur during 2008, bagging the highest number of votes in the country.
However, before the 2013 elections, he parted ways with the party and announced joining the Pakistan People’s Party at a public meeting that the PPP’s former premier Raja Pervez Ashraf addressed in Mushtaq’s native Kotnajibullah village.
However, he opted to contest as independent candidate and lost to Dr Raja Amir Zaman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
