Political Alliances & Criticism Unfold: Shehbaz Sharif meets IPP delegation
IPP Challenges Legitimacy: Calls PTI’s Intra-Party Polls Unconstitutional and Urges ECP Action.
In a recent development, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif engaged in discussions with the top leadership of the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) to assess the current political landscape. The meeting, held on Thursday, involved a delegation from IPP led by patron-in-chief Jahangir Khan Tareen, with IPP leader Awn Chaudhry also in attendance.
Notably, the IPP has taken a strong stance against the intra-party polls conducted by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). In a recent statement, IPP Spokesperson Firdous Ashiq Awan expressed concern over the PTI’s internal polls, labeling them as unconstitutional and against the law. Awan urged the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take notice and enforce strict measures against the PTI for what she deemed a violation of democratic principles.
Awan specifically highlighted the appointment of Barrister Gohar Ali Khan as the PTI chairman, criticizing it as inconsistent with the party’s manifesto and democratic traditions. She emphasized that such actions, including the so-called intra-party polls, set an alarming precedent akin to dictatorship and should not be tolerated.
