Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced its decision to boycott the upcoming voting on the controversial constitutional amendment, citing the process as non-transparent. The decision was made during a meeting of PTI's Political Committee, chaired by Barrister Gauhar, where the amendment was deemed destructive for the country's future.
In its statement, PTI declared that the party will completely withdraw from the referendum process in both the Senate and the National Assembly. PTI warned that any members who violate party policy by participating in the polls will face strong internal protests, emphasizing that it will hold peaceful sit-ins against those going against party directives.
The Political Committee condemned the constitutional amendment, accusing the ruling group of cheating in the elections and seizing power undemocratically. PTI asserted that this group has no moral or constitutional authority to alter the constitution. The party stressed the importance of protecting democracy and voiced its strong opposition to the amendments since day one.
The declaration also reiterated that all members of the Senate and National Assembly elected on PTI tickets are obligated to follow the directives of PTI and party chairman Imran Khan. Any deviation from party policy will result in peaceful protests against the individuals involved.
PTI remains committed to resisting what it views as an attempt to distort the constitution.
