ISLAMABAD – Days after quitting the National Assembly’s parliamentary committees, incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Wednesday directed the party senators to resign from the committees of the Senate.
First talking to his sisters in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail and later in a post on his X handle, which is being operated by someone from outside the jail, ex-premier Imran Khan said that he would announce his plan of action in the next few days.
“Now, I direct (all PTI senators) to resign from the Senate committees,” he said and paid tributes to those party MNAs who resigned from the parliamentary committees of NA and surrendered all perks and privileges. Last month, the PTI founder had instructed his MNAs to resign from the NA committees in protest against the disqualification of party members following their convictions in cases linked to May 9 riots. Khan went on to say that May 9 incidents were part of a false flag operation only to crush the country’s most popular party PTI. “The real culprits behind May 9 riots are those who stole the CCTV footage of these incidents,” he said. He added that now parliamentary seats of PTI were being snatched from it on the pretext of May 9 violence after awarding its lawmakers 10-year each imprisonment.
