“Failure” of PTI’s last protest call in Islamabad

Barrister Gohar Ali Khan received Salman Akram Raja’s resignation, which’s confirmed on Thursday.

The party’s secretary general and the head of the Sunni Ittehand Council, the party’s principal ally in the National Assembly, announced their intention to resign from their positions in the wake of accusations and recriminations among party leaders regarding the “failure” of PTI’s last protest call in Islamabad.

Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, the current party chairman, received Salman Akram Raja’s resignation, which he confirmed on Thursday. He insisted, however, that party founder Imran Khan would decide in the coming days whether to accept or reject the resignation.

Mr. Raja has been instructed to carry out his responsibilities till then.

Sahibzada Hamid Raza, the head of SIC, also declared his intention to resign from the party’s political and core committees. He also stated that he would provide the imprisoned party founder his resignation from the National Assembly.

“I am leaving the PTI’s committees to avoid getting involved in its internal disputes, but I will still work with Imran Khan and the party,” he declared.

Additionally, according to sources, Mr. Raza had told party leaders that the conflict within the party “was hurting Imran Khan and his cause.”

Following two days of intense debate in the party’s two main political committees, which convened on Wednesday and Thursday, the resignations come after attempts to assign blame for the party’s withdrawal from Islamabad.

According to sources, Secretary-General Salman Akram Raja was the target of the political and core committee’s guns because he was criticised for his total inability to organise the populace and organise any rally from Lahore to support the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter workers who were advancing on D-Chowk.

However, Mr. Raja was already discouraged since Bushra Bibi, the former first lady, was in charge and was accused of insulting a number of party leaders at meetings in Peshawar prior to the protest on November 24.
