ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) publicized on Monday to delay its intra-party
elections (IPE) for unspecified period, saying it wanted to sidetrack all its
energies to yet another movement against the government in the wake of Panama
Papers debacle.
“We have decided to delay the intra-party
elections,” PTI Chairman Imran Khan said after a brainstorming session with
senior leadership of the party.
The leadership had been invited to take a
decision on launching a fresh movement against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz
(PML-N) government, after the leaked documents dubbed Panama Papers revealed
offshore companies of Sharif family members along with numerous political
leaders across the world.
“We
have decided to launch a movement which will end with a march to Raiwind (the
palatial residential compound of Sharif family),” Imran said.
The
PTI chief said that membership campaign of the party, which was supposed to end
by April 15 would continue. According to PTI election commission, the IPE was
supposed to complete on June 5.
“The
intra-party elections would be conducted after the Raiwind March,” Imran said.
Responding
to questions about backbiting in the party, he said it reflected democracy
within the party which is a rare phenomenon in the country.
