Three leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Tuesday announced joining Pakistan People's Party (PPP) claiming that their former party leadership had not paid any heed to their problems. The announcement was made by PML-N leaders Syed Salman Ahmed Gardezi, Syed Irfan Ahmed Gardezi and Syed Sajid Hussain, during a press conference at Governor House, Lahore. PPP Punjab President Manzoor Wattoo was also present on the occasion.

Talking to media, Wattoo said more PML-N leaders were willing to join PPP and soon they would join the party. Wattoo further said that although the newly appointed governor Makhdoom Ahmed Mahmood was affiliated with Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) but he was a PPP sympathiser. He said he had no differences with Naheed Khan and Safdar Abbasi, adding that they had grievances with the Federation and not with the provincial leadership. He said PPP would continue its activities at Governor House in Lahore.
