MNA Ayesha Gulalai has announced to establish a new political party - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (Gulalai). A video became viral on the social media showing Gulalai chatting with a PTI leader Seema Anwar in respect to launch of her party and also requesting the latter to join PTI-G as well as convince the sidelined members of the PTI, so that she can also invite them to join her new political party, which she announced to form earlier.
During the meeting, Gulalai asked for a list of angry PTI female members from Seema Anwar and extended an offer to join her new party, which Seema turned down, saying that she is receiving respect in the PTI. Seema asked the PTI renegade if she thought she could get a ticket on a special seat, to which Gulalai responded that only investors and rich leaders get that seat.
"I know chairman PTI Imran Khan very well, don't live on fake hopes," Gulalai cautioned Seema. In a separate video, Seema Anwar clarified that she would continue working for Khan-led PTI and would continue her efforts with the party 'till death'.
Seema in her video said that she can't even think of betraying Khan or PTI, as she has received respect in the party and holds a key position. "I am not doing this for the party, I am working for the betterment of Pakistan and our future generations," she said.
"There is no question about it. I will not be betraying the party and will always be there for the party till death," she added. The PTI leader also clarified that it was Gulalai who visited her and offered a 'front seat' in her new party. Earlier this month, Gulalai said she would officially announce her new political party 'sometime around the New Year'. "I have always spoken the truth and the time is ripe to create and lead my own political party," she had said.
Gulalai announced to quit the PTI in August after levelling allegations of harassment and corruption against Khan. Relations between Gulalai and the party leadership have since turned sour. Following the spat, Khan and PTI even knocked the doors of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) with an application to de-seat her, where PTI's request was turned down by the ECP.
