Former PPP governor Latif Khosa joins PTI

Senior lawyer and former Punjab governor, Sardar Latif Khosa on Sunday announced parting ways with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and joining the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

While speaking to the media in Lahore at his residence, the former Punjab governor said he was joining the party "on the wish" of PTI founder Imran Khan.

Khosa also held a press conference in Lahore confirming his decision. Referring to the Constitution, the senior lawyer said it was a civil agreement with the characteristics of a welfare state and the country has suffered whenever the Constitution was deviated from. 

Khosa is a member of Imran's legal team and is representing him and the party in high-profile cases. 

On September 22, PPP had suspended its senior leader and lawyer Khosa's party membership over his failure to reply to the show-cause notice issued against him for violating the party policy.
