PTI have backed the PPP's statement on the level playing field ahead of the general elections. Will we see any kind of alliance between these two parties?
In a significant and unexpected development that can be seen as an initial truce in Pakistan's often turbulent political landscape, the political subcommittee of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's Core Committee announced its support on Saturday for what it described as the "right thinking" expressed by a "responsible personality" from the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
This statement pertained to the challenge to the legitimacy of election outcomes in likely absence of PTI's involvement in the process.
This thaw in relations comes on the heels of a similar political breakthrough when a delegation from PTI met with their long-standing political rival, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, this past Thursday in Islamabad.
The objective of that meeting was reportedly to develop a joint strategy to address the key issue of a "lack of level-playing field" ahead of the upcoming elections.
The subcommittee of PTI's Core Committee convened today, delving into various facets of the party's political strategy and the current political climate in the country.
The meeting centered on a review of statements made by leaders of different political parties, with particular attention given to those from the PPP. These statements revolved around the necessity of establishing a level-playing field and ensuring PTI's inclusion in the electoral process.
A statement released by PTI emphasised the positive trend that has emerged, with political parties across Pakistan increasingly stressing the need to provide equal opportunities to all political entities, ultimately ensuring free, fair, and transparent elections.
“PTI, as the largest political party in Pakistan, boasts a substantial and widespread presence throughout the nation. It stands firmly against any attempts to exclude it or any other political party from the electoral process through artificial, unconstitutional, or undemocratic methods, such as the alleged ‘London plan’,” it stressed.
Such actions are perceived as detrimental to the democratic process, it added.
The committee further affirmed PTI's readiness to welcome any constructive efforts aimed at guaranteeing the conduct of free, fair, transparent, and timely elections. This commitment underscores the party's dedication to upholding the democratic principles of the country.
In addition to these developments, the political subcommittee meeting also discussed and finalised a schedule for future engagement with other political parties, set to commence from next week.
