By Press Trust of India: A group of former provincial lawmakers who quit ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistani party Tehreek-e-Insaf following May 9 attacks on military installations and sensitive government buildings , launched a new group called the “Democrats” on Monday. .”

Former Punjab province interior minister Hashim Dogar, who left Khan’s PTI last month, leads the formation, which also includes former education minister Dr Murad Raas.

It was unclear whether this outfit would align with some of the larger political parties like the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) or the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).

There has also been no information on whether the “Democrats” plan to register with Pakistan’s Election Commission.

“One thing is clear is that the Democrats will continue to act as an opposition to the ruling Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) party,” Raas was quoted by Dawn newspaper as saying.

On May 9, violent protests erupted after paramilitary Rangers arrested Khan, 70, chairman of the PTI, at the premises of the High Court in Islamabad in connection with a corruption case.

Khan’s party employees vandalized a dozen military installations, including the corps commander’s house in Lahore, Mianwali air base and the ISI building in Faisalabad in response to his arrest.

The crowd also stormed the Army Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi for the first time.

Thousands of Khan’s supporters have been arrested following the violence that the mighty military has called a “black day” in the country’s history.

The crackdown launched after the violent May 9 protests plunged the PTI into a deep existential crisis with dozens of key party leaders leaving the party daily.

Khan said on Monday that Pakistanis were living in a “dark age” as authorities used Nazi Germany’s Family Punishment Law against his supporters amid silence from the Supreme Court.

Dogar and Raas are among the prominent lawmakers, along with PTI general secretary Asad Umar, senior leader Fawad Chaudhry and former minister Shireen Mazari, to part ways.

So far, more than 100 leaders and former lawmakers have quit the PTI, with Pakistani law enforcement agencies arresting more than 10,000 workers from various parts of the country.

Last month, the National Assembly, the lower house of Pakistan’s parliament, passed a resolution promising to try the May 9 rioters under existing laws, including the strict Army Law and the Official Secrets Law.

Khan, a former cricketer turned politician, was ousted from power in April last year after losing a vote of no confidence in his leadership, which he said was part of a plot led by the United States targets him because of his independent foreign policy decisions on Russia, China and Afghanistan.
