ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Salman Akram Raja has announced that he is resigning from his post to focus on legal matters.
In a statement on social media platform X, he said that tomorrow he will formally request PTI founder Imran Khan to remove him from his post, but he will continue to provide his legal services to the party free of charge.
He added that last Tuesday he had submitted a request to Imran Khan through Advocate Ali Bukhari, asking him to be removed from the post of Secretary General in light of the unfair punishments meted out to party members, so that he could focus fully on legal matters. However, Imran Khan did not accept his request. He thanked the chairman for the trust reposed in him.
He added that he is not a traditional politician, landlord or industrialist but belongs to a common family and has withstood all kinds of attacks from within and outside the party with the support of his small family.
“Despite my thriving legal career and financial stability, I stood by the party, and I have no regrets about it,” he said.
He added that today’s incident forced him to make a clear decision because his life is an open book and he cannot tolerate any action that goes against his principles or compromises his intellectual or financial integrity.
