KARACHI: The Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) has announced ‘unconditional’ support for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and empowered Imran Khan to take any decision regarding the MWM, ARY News reported.

In a statement, MWM Chairman Allama Raja Nasir Abbas said that MWM is Imran Khan’s ‘own’ party and he could take any decision that he thinks is in favour of the masses.

“We will accept any decision taken by Imran Khan unconditionally. From day one, our party tendered unconditional support to the PTI,” Allama Raja Nasir Abbas added.
