PESHAWAR (Online) - Qaumi Wattan Party has announced to quit PTI-led coalition government in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

Talking to newsmen here on Thursday‚ Qaumi Wattan Party Provincial Chairman Sikandar Sherpao leveled series of allegations against PTI.

He said his party was not taken into confidence on important national issues.

He further said that his party was glad to join the provincial coalition set up for the sake of merit, however, merit was restricted for a few persons only.

On the other hand, Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf, on Wednesday announced to part ways with Qaumi Watan Party in the provincial coalition government of Khyber-Pukhtunkhwa.

A PTI’s press note on Wednesday said Chairman Imran Khan, issued a strong advisory to Chief Mninster Pervez Khattak to pull out of the coalition with Qaumi Watan Party (QWP).

Imran said the QWP was given two warnings about the corruption of two of their ministers but this party chose to tolerate corruption and instead showed its displeasure at the corruption being pointed out by boycotting the provincial cabinet meetings. Today two of their ministers were dismissed by the chief minister.

He also stated that PTI was elected on a mandate against corruption and there is zero tolerance for any form of corruption.

"This should be a clear warning for all our Ministers and MPAs and PTI cannot have as a coalition partner any Party that tolerates corruption," Imran made clear.

"Our JI ministers have proven exemplary in this regard and we respect them for their commitment towards anti corruption", Khan added.
