Samsam Bukhari
ISLAMABAD: On Tuesday, another leader of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf Samsam Bukhari deserted the party. He is joining the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) led by PTI-s estranged leaders Jahangir Tareen and Aleem Khan.
Former Punjab minister of PTI Syed Samsam Bukhari declared his departure from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) due to the May 9 incidents.
In a statement, Bukhari condemned the tragic events that transpired following Imran Khan’s arrest.
He said, “I don’t believe in politics of violence as all institutions are ours and we have to work together.”
Following this declaration, Mr. Samsam met with Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) President Jahangir Tareen and made the decision to join IPP.
Meanwhile, the meeting also included other party leaders, including Aoun Chaudhry and Numan Langriyal.
He is scheduled to officially announce his affiliation with the party during a press conference later today.
IPP’s manifesto
Meanwhile, the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) has unveiled its comprehensive party manifesto, aiming to tackle national challenges and promote progress and prosperity.
With a focus on addressing the country’s challenges, the manifesto outlines the IPP‘s vision for an Islamic society, agricultural reforms, social welfare initiatives, and more.
The establishment of an Islamic society, safeguarding Prophethood, and combating Islamophobia take center stage in the party’s agenda.
The IPP also aims to promote inclusivity and cooperation among different educational institutions by integrating Madrasahs into the national mainstream.
Agricultural reforms hold significant importance in the manifesto, with a commitment to improving farmers’ livelihoods and ensuring agricultural growth.
As part of these reforms, the IPP pledges to provide free electricity of up to 300 units to citizens and extend free electricity supply to tube wells for farmers with land holdings of up to 12.5 acres.
To enhance laborers’ welfare, the IPP proposes a minimum wage of Rs 50,000 and mandatory insurance to protect their interests and financial well-being.
The party acknowledges the challenges faced by slum dwellers and intends to grant them ownership rights to provide security and stability in their living conditions.
To address the housing needs of citizens, the IPP envisions low-cost residential projects featuring apartment buildings, offering affordable housing options.
Motorcyclists are also a focus of the IPP’s vision, with a proposed plan to provide them with petrol at half price, easing the burden of fuel expenses for this significant segment of the population.
In addition, the IPP manifesto places emphasis on healthcare reforms, aiming to improve access to quality medical services for all citizens.
