The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is boycotting the joint session of the Parliament to be held on Wednesday to reaffirm national resolve for safeguarding the sovereignty as well as reiterating the support to the people of Indian Held Kashmir (IHK).
The session was convened as part of government’s efforts to take political leadership into confidence over the matters of national security amid Indian aggression on the Line of Control (LoC) and violence in IHK.
PTI Chief Imran Khan on Monday announced that his party was boycotting today’s joint session saying “their presence would be like endorsing Nawaz as the prime minister, which his party would not do.”
Imran Khan further said that the PM had lost the moral justification and was trying to use the Kashmir issue to save himself from the Panama Leaks investigations.
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has criticised PTI’s decision to boycott the joint sitting when the country needed to convey a message of unity to India.
Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid said the boycott is a sign of Imran’s mental bankruptcy. The minister said his attitude showed that he is deprived of understanding the importance of national issues.
