Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s close aide Usman Dar Wednesday announced leaving the former ruling party, with May 9 — the day when PTI workers ransacked state installations after the ex-premier’s arrest — being the primary reason behind his decision.
“The motive behind May 9 events was to overthrow the army chief [General Asim Munir],” Dar said during an interview with a private television channel, as he came to the fore days after PTI claimed he had been “abducted”
The ex-PTI leader’s brother-in-law filed a petition in the Sindh High Court, and a day earlier, the province’s top court directed police to register a case of his disappearance.
But after resurfacing today, the now-former PTI leader blamed the party’s leadership for orchestrating the May 9 events.
