In a dramatic turn of events, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary-General Salman Akram Raja has withdrawn his resignation, a move that has sparked widespread conversation about the party’s internal dynamics. Raja’s decision comes after intense internal criticism regarding his role in the party’s recent failed protest efforts.
The Controversy Surrounding the Resignation

Despite the backlash, senior PTI leaders like Barrister Gohar Ali Khan encouraged Raja to persevere, emphasizing the need for resilience during tough times. Khan reminded Raja of his significant role in the party and advised him not to bow to critics.
Other Developments in PTI
Adding to the party’s internal reshuffle, Mishal Yousafzai, a Special Assistant to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), was removed from her position by CM Ali Amin Gandapur. Yousafzai claimed her dismissal was linked to an interview where she defended PTI’s leadership, showcasing the challenges faced by outspoken members of the party.
Looking Ahead
Salman Akram Raja’s retraction of his resignation indicates a continued push to address internal issues and strengthen the party’s foundation. However, it also highlights the growing pains within PTI as it navigates leadership challenges amidst evolving political dynamics.
