Former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Pervez Khattak has decided to join the politics again, Dunya News learnt.
According to family sources, the seasoned politician is in contact with PPP and other parties while he also held several meetings with key political leaders during last few days.
Speaking to Dunya News, the veteran politician said that he will take a decision after analysing the political situation. “I am silently observing the performance of incumbent government nowadays,” he said.
He was of the view that the development schemes of 10 billion rupees were approved for Nowshera but they have been reverted. “The people of Nowshera will now realise their deprivation,” he lamented.
I am way from mainstream and social media these days but can take decision to enter politics again soon, he added.
Earlier, Khattak had stepped down as chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarian (PTIP) days after his party showed dismal performance in general elections 2024.
The former defence minister had said that he was resigning from the position due to health issues.
