ISLAMABAD, APR 07 (DNA) – In a major setback to ruling Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN), Dr. Ramesh Kumar on Saturday announced to join ranks of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) during a joint press conference with Imran Khan here in Islamabad.

Kumar was selected member of National Assembly on minority seat by PMLN.

Kumar vowed to serve masses along with PTI while forecasting that many other members of PMLN were also set to join Imran Khan-led PTI.

“I practiced politics to serve the masses. Even Chaudhry Nisar used to state that a person like him had no honour in the party. I respect judiciary and oppose use of such language against the courts”, asserted Kumar.

Commenting on Kumar’s inclusion, PTI chief Imran Khan welcomed him while vowing to protect minorities via all legal and moral means.

“Equal rights should be granted to minorities”, asserted Khan.
