Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) head Imran Khan has admitted to groupings within his political party. The admission comes ahead of a crucial meeting with both party factions tomorrow in Adiala Jail, as reported by The News on Wednesday.
While Khan admitted to rifts within his political party but he refuted claims of a “forward bloc” while speaking to reporters in a courtroom.
PTI leaders have started speaking against each other, giving credibility to claims of internal rifts.
Last month, the party’s Secretary-General, Omar Ayub, stepped down to “focus on his role as National Assembly Opposition Leader” instead.
Ayub resigned when 27 PTI leaders wanted to resign from the National Assembly in protest against the current PTI leadership for not trying to get Khan out of jail. Even though Ayub’s resignation was not accepted by PTI’s parliamentary party
Geo News reported that out of 27 leaders, 21 hinted at forming a forward bloc.
