سابق وزیربرائے مذہبی امور اورنون لیگ کے مرکزی رہنما پیر محمد امین الحسنات کی تحریک انصاف میں شمولیت انتہائ اہم ہے، پیر صاحب اور ان کا خاندان سرگودھا، راولپنڈی ڈویژن سمیت پورے پاکستان اور اوورسیز میں اثر و نفوذ رکھتا ہے اور خانوادوں کی بہت بڑا سلسلہ بھیرہ شریف سے وابستہ ہے

The announcement of Pir Hasnat joining PTI is a blow to the PML-N as general elections are scheduled to take place later this year as tenure of the current National Assembly ends in August.
