Islamabad, Pakistan: In an interesting move, PTI has released a statement that it has nothing to do with any action that was taken by individuals in or outside the country without the formal approval of the PTI. This statement is actually an act of disowning its foreign troll brigade and it can be another gimmick as this party is known for its U-turns and juggling capacities.
This statement may be an attempt to distance from the latest campaign against Pakistan launched by people like Moeed Pirzada, Sabir Shakar, Wajahat Saeed Khan, and Adil Raja who are all sitting in Western countries and are continuously spreading hate against state institutions. They have been frontline warriors of PTI and have been lobbying within US Congress to get support for former Chairman PTI Imran Khan who is facing criminal cases and is currently in jail. Wajahat Saeed Khan’s last video with another fugitive Altaf Hussain had enough messages to listeners about what is being cooked against Pakistan by all such characters. However, in a recent vlog, Wajahat Saeed stated that he was waiting for the Pakistani establishment to contact him and offered dialogue because he had been in close contact with it in the past. His comments indicated that PTI has sent a message to its foreign assets that it needs an obedient face for the time being as it is entering into the electoral process so it wants to mend its relations with important institutions. The latest statement by the party that no decision, action, or statement of any individual could be given the status of PTI policy nor does PTI accept might relate to this new strategy.
This sudden change in party strategy can be a smokescreen created by PTI because it is planning something serious against institutions while sending a message that it is an obedient party that respects morality and decency.
