PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja Expresses Doubts Over Lawyers’ Meeting with Imran Khan in Jail

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Salman Akram Raja has expressed doubts over the meeting between lawyers and the party’s founder, Imran Khan, in jail.

Speaking to the media, Salman Akram Raja said that more people considered close to the authorities could be sent to meet the PTI founder in the future.

He said there had been certain objectives behind the meeting with Imran Khan and that an opportunity had also been provided to discuss political matters during the interaction.

According to Salman Akram Raja, Imran Khan had expressed the view that smaller provinces and administrative units should be established to improve governance. However, he stressed that such a major decision should not be taken in a manner that disregards the sanctity of votes.

Raja further said that the Constitution did not provide for the creation of provinces through a referendum.

He questioned how the sanctity of a referendum could be ensured when the sanctity of votes was not being respected across the political system.
