PTI ‘needs to follow conciliatory path’

Akbar S Babar, a founding member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) warned on Friday that the party was on the verge of disintegration and called for bringing a leadership that focused on building the nation.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Babar urged the PTI founding chairman to work together to save the party. “I am making an offer to the founder chairman, now we have to go ahead and for that a conciliatory path needed to be followed,” he said.

Babar proposed that the PTI founding chairman should nominate three representatives and a lawyer to hold discussion with his team, comprising three representatives and a lawyer, for a framework for the reconciliation.

Babar said that the entire PTI leadership had become defunct. He welcomed the postponement of the intra-party elections. “We are putting in efforts to make the PTI a democratic organisation and a party that was not above the law.
