Senator Faisal Vawda has raised concerns about the legitimacy of 37 affidavits submitted by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members, claiming that the signatures on seven documents are suspicious.

Speaking on a private television channel on Thursday, Vawda stated, "If the government plays on both sides of the wicket, it will only harm itself."

Vawda commented on internal divisions within PTI, noting the formation of a forward bloc.

"There are many factions [in the party]," he said.

"This is a critical time for the government to showcase its performance. Writing a letter to the IMF will be detrimental to the country."

He further criticized PTI, saying, "The party is again spreading poison. The founders of PTI, 12 years ago, were much more patient. I won't comment on their personal lives, but honest workers are being sidelined in favour of those engaged in theft."

Reflecting on the events of May 9, he alleged, "Terrorism was committed against the state."

He predicted a tumultuous political climate in September and October, asserting that "no one in the country is following the constitution and the law."

Senator Vawda also warned of escalating difficulties for PTI following recent judicial decisions. "I foresee bulldozers coming into play," he remarked.

"Given today's language, PTI cannot move past May 9. PTI is heading to the Supreme Judicial Council, and so are others. This is not an issue of the constitution itself but its interpretation."

The former PTI leader concluded by emphasizing the role of parliament and the judiciary, stating, "The country is heading towards a constitutional crisis. The authority to create the constitution lies with parliament; the judiciary's role is only to interpret it."
