Singer-turned-politician Abrar-ul-Haq has announced quitting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), led by Imran Khan. 

Addressing a presser in Lahore, Abrar ul Haq said that he regrets standing with Imran Khan. Haq said he grew up in a family with a political and military background. Talking about his respect for the martyrs, the singer-turned-politician said that whenever he sees a photo of a martyr, he salutes it.

“In our medical college, education is free for the children of martyrs,” he added. Haq said that he has no “greed for fame or position”. Haq stated that everyone condemned the May 9 incident, and his colleagues can testify that he strongly criticised the events on the same day of the riots.

He explained that the purpose of entering politics was to carry out significant social work that would benefit the people.


However, he added that the dream of doing social work in politics seemed unattainable now. “Why waste more time if it doesn’t contribute to serving the people effectively? Social work is so important to me that I am willing to leave politics for it.”
