Imran Khan directs PTI members to resign from party positions

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has instructed party members holding government roles to step down from their positions within the party. The directive, communicated through PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja, aims to give Junaid Akbar, the newly appointed president of PTI's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chapter, a free hand in reorganising the party. Raja, speaking to journalists after visiting Khan in Adiala jail on Tuesday, assured that Khan is in good health despite concerns over his well-being. He also revealed that Khan planned to write to Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi about issues within the prison system, noting that the jail administration was allegedly under the control of "unseen forces." The PTI secretary general addressed the party's stance on ongoing issues in Sindh, including resistance to dam construction, reaffirming PTI’s commitment to fighting for the rights of the people in the province. Additionally, Raja highlighted the party’s determination to engage with every institution, stating that PTI would "knock on doors" to address concerns, particularly in light of the controversial passage of the 26th Constitutional Amendment. He further expressed Khan's disappointment over Pakistan's performance in the ICC Champions Trophy, adding that the state of national cricket had saddened the former prime minister, who noted the deep connection the people of Pakistan have with the sport.
