Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Boycotts Punjab By-Elections and Resigns from Parliamentary Committees

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced its decision to boycott the upcoming by-elections in the Punjab province, as well as withdrawing from several parliamentary committees. This decision comes in line with directives from PTI founder Imran Khan, following protests against the government.

In April 2022, members of the PTI announced their resignations from parliamentary positions, including Shahid Khattak, Asif Khan, Ali Asghar, and Sajid Khan. These resignations reflect the party's broader political disengagement strategy.

Khan, the son of the late senior politician Mian Muhammad Azhar, has declined to run for the vacant National Assembly (NA)-129 seat in Lahore, citing personal reasons. Meanwhile, Hammad Azhar, Junaid Akbar, and the Punjab by-polls have not been mentioned in the current developments.

Faisal Amin Khan, the brother of KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, has also resigned from the Economic Affairs, Food Security, and Parliamentary Task Force committees. Additionally, Sajid Khan has left committees related to Overseas Pakistanis, National Heritage, and Kashmir affairs.

The PTI has directed all its candidates to withdraw their nomination papers for the Punjab by-polls. In a statement, the PTI Central Media Department reiterated the party's complete non-participation in the Punjab by-polls. This decision was reported by Geo News, The News, and Zee News.

The PTI Central Media Department has not released any new statements regarding the Punjab by-polls in the current paragraph. However, some individuals had submitted nomination papers under PTI's name for the Punjab by-polls, which the party has asked to withdraw immediately.

These resignations and decisions are part of the PTI's ongoing protest against current political developments. PTI's Junaid Akbar has also resigned as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and from the National Assembly Standing Committee on Energy, following Imran Khan's call for resignations from parliamentary roles.

In summary, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to boycott the upcoming by-elections in Punjab province and has withdrawn from several parliamentary committees as part of its ongoing protest against current political developments. The party has also directed all its candidates to withdraw their nomination papers for the Punjab by-polls and has dissociated itself from anyone filing papers using the party's identity.
