ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Senator Faisal Vawda has said the PTI is divided into different factions.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad here today, Faisal Vawda said: “PTI today, consists of non-political wive, sisters, lawyers, old members, and new factions. Beyond KP, the leadership is nowhere to be seen.”
He expressed dismay over the state of the party, saying, “While the founder of PTI is in jail, others are busy with their own indulgences.”
Faisal Vawda dismissed November 24 protest call, saying, “This call is neither the first nor the last; it’s like a bubble that will burst.
The date was strategically chosen because charges against the PTI founder will be framed on November 25.”
PTI founder won’t be released from jail on November 24, stop this ‘drama’, he added.
“Whose message did Ali Amin take to meet Imran Khan in jail,” Vawda questioned, stressing that the drama and spectacle should be clarified before the nation.
The senator said even if the party manages to gather 10,000 to 15,000 people, they would not be able to enter the Red Zone.
He also took aim at political hypocrisy, stating, “I’m not among those cowardly politicians who criticize Trump and then delete their tweets.”
“They will be assigned a place where they can do whatever they want. Enjoy the sit-in like a picnic,” he mocked.
The senator further claimed that no negotiations were being held between the PTI and the establishment, adding that instead the government was engaged in talks.
Vawda also criticized US’s alleged interference in Pakistan in reference to a letter from the Congress that highlighted alleged human rights violations in the country.
He questioned the double standards in the US human rights advocacy, pointing to atrocities in Palestine and Kashmir. “Children are being slain in Palestine, but they can’t see the rights violation there, nor in Kashmir,” he remarked.
The senator underscored the need for Pakistan to resist external interference and maintain sovereignty. “Pakistan is an independent and self-reliant nation,” he declared, urging the country’s assemblies to come forward and stop the interference.
