First post-massacre: PTI calls meeting of core committee today

Party leaders would discuss political situation and party resignations


Our Correspondent December 21, 2014

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has convened a core committee meeting in Islamabad today (Sunday) to discuss the current political situation, particularly the talks with the government and matter pertaining to the resignations of the party parliamentarians.

This is maiden core committee’s meeting of the PTI after abruptly wrapping the 120-day long sit-in at D-chowk following the Peshawar school massacre.

The core committee will also discuss the law and order situation in Khyber-Pakhtunkhawa, where the PTI leads a coalition government and the party also faced criticism after deadly Taliban attackers stormed into the school premises within the nose of the provincial secretariat of the KPK government.

A PTI leader told The Express Tribune that apart from the current extraordinary political situation, the core committee will also look into the matter of the resignations of the party parliamentarians from the National Assembly and Punjab Assembly, which were submitted in August as part of the protest against the alleged poll rigging in the 2013 elections. “The committee will discuss whether the party should reverse the decision to resign from the assemblies, and that if the decision is reversed then what should be the conditions,” said the source. After calling off the prolonged D-chowk sit-in, Imran Khan again demanded the government to form a judicial commission to probe into the alleged poll riggings.

However, the negotiators from both sides are working to hammer out the ToRs for the proposed Judicial Commission.
