Divisions in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have gotten stronger as 21 members have hinted at making a forward block over party’s inability to secure founder PTI Imran Khan’s release from prison, Geo News reported on Wednesday.
The dissenting group also “conveyed a message” to Chairman PTI Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan to start serious efforts to free the incarcerated former Prime Minister.
The problem emerged when several PTI leaders refused to attend the parliamentary party’s session earlier this week.
The 27 lawmakers were in favour of stepping down from the assembly, while 21 considered forming a forward block, according to Geo News.
PTI leader Shandana Gulzar has told Geo News, “Resignations would be a better option if we cannot take the PTI founder out of jail.”
