LAHORE: Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Farrukh Habib is expected to get a key position in Jahangir Tareen\u2019s Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), ARY News reported on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Farrukh Habib is likely to get a key post in IPP. The politician held a meeting with IPP Patron-in-Chief Jahangir Tareen in which the decision was taken to award Habib a key position within the political party.<\/p>\n

However, the political party has not yet disclosed the details.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, former PTI top leader Fawad Chaudhry also held a meeting with Tareen in the presence of Aun Chaudhry.<\/p>\n

On October 16, former federal minister Farrukh Habib had announced to part ways with the PTI and join IPP.<\/p>\n

He was among the founding members of PTI\u2019s student wing \u2013 Insaf Student Federation (ISF) \u2013 and also served as the minister of state for information in Imran Khan\u2019s cabinet.<\/p>\n

The former PTI leader made the announcement in a press conference at the Jahangir Tareen-led Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party\u2019s (IPP) head office in Lahore alongside the party\u2019s top leadership.<\/p>\n

Addressing a press conference, Farrukh Habib said<\/a> that he disconnected contact with his family for around three weeks. \u201cWe have all been away from our homes since the unfortunate incident of May 9,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the May 9 riots, the former federal minister said they wanted to make Pakistan the country of Quaid-e-Azam. \u201cI realised that we took our struggle to the path of violence. We failed to make Pakistan which was envisioned by Quaid-e-Azam,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Terming self-accountability \u2018very important\u2019. Habib said he was also in that phase and took his time to make a decision on this, adding that he consulted with his \u2018spiritual and sincere friends\u2019.<\/p>\n

He recalled that the PTI government was ousted via a vote of no-confidence constitutionally, regretting that the party did not sit in peace after that.<\/p>\n

Following the ouster, Habib pointed out that PTI should have opted for a \u201cdemocratic struggle\u201d and waited for elections.<\/p>\n

However, he said, PTI chairman Imran Khan opted for \u2018violent resistance\u2019. \u201cWe [ISF] have faced beatings as youth leaders but we never opted for a violent approach,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cMessages were spread for people to take to the streets and their minds were hijacked,\u201d he said, adding that their sentiments were provoked that Pakistan\u2019s institutions are working against them.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
