LAHORE
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Thursday made a fresh bid to woo the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's maverick leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and invited him to join his party so that they could work together to build a 'new Pakistan.'
Khan extended the invitation to the PML-N dissident while speaking at a ceremony to launch the PTI's logo and slogan for the upcoming general elections.
Lauding his old friend, Imran Khan said Chaudhry Nisar had taken a principled stand that he would not bow and take orders from Maryam Nawaz, who held no authority in the party.
For his courageous and unwavering stance, the PTI chief said,"I wish to invite Chaudhry Nisar to join the PTI". The main objective of the visit of the cricketer-turned-politician to Lahore was to step up mobilisation of the party workers for the much-trumpeted April 29 public meeting at Minar-i-Pakistan.
Explaining the party's new slogan, Mr Khan stated there always remained two Pakistans one for the rich and powerful and the other for the poor and weak.
Stating that the PTI was on a mission to eradicate corruption from society, Mr Khan said he had taken a strong decision of suspending 20 lawmakers of his party, who had allegedly sold their votes in the last month's Senate election.
