- Current discussions to eliminate controversial figures.
- Modifications proposed to take with Imran Khan imprisoned.
- Pti us chapter divided on the approach towards the establishment.
Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaf (PTI) envisages changes within its central and political committees, with discussions in progress among the main party leaders to suppress controversial personalities such as Shahbaz Gill from these organs.
According to the initiates of the party, the proposed changes will be discussed with the founding president imprisoned from the party, Imran Khan, whose approval remains essential for any major restructuring.
In related development, the PTI has recently officially dissolved its Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Relations. The committee, created earlier this year on January 28, included eminent figures such as Zulfi Bukhari, Sajjad Burki, Shahbaz Gill and Atif Khan.
The dissolution was announced through a notification issued by the lawyer Gohar Khan, acting on the directives of Imran.
Sources reveal that this decision came in response to the concerns relayed to Imran by certain PTI activists based in the United States. Activists would have transmitted an increasing discomfort on the management of the committee, in particular in the chapters abroad of PTI.
The American chapter of the PTI, in particular, would be divided on its approach to the military establishment of Pakistan. While some members have taken an aggressive position against the military and its leaders, others now argue for dialogue and reconciliation.
This internal flaw became more visible after a group of American doctors and businessmen recently visited Islamabad, where they would have met a high -level official as well as Khan in Adiala prison.
Their efforts, perceived as an attempt to compensate for links between the PTI and the soldiers, aroused criticism from the party diaspora in the party diaspora.
Party leaders promoting rapprochement believe that significant dialogue with the establishment is unlikely as long as the Bellician factions within the PTI – and in particular its social media wings – continue to openly target military management.
The potential suppression of certain individuals of influential positions within the PTI can point out a broader strategy to recalibrate the approach of the party in anticipation of future political developments. The most serious effort of the party is to obtain relief for its president of imprisoned founder.
