PTI's return to NA hinges on formation of judicial commission

ISLAMABAD: Paskistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Sunday said the party will consider returning to the National Assembly after formation of the judicial commission agreed to by the government.

Talking to journalists after a grand party meeting at Imran Khan’s residence in Bani Gala, Qureshi said PTI had decided to take action on Justice Wajihuddin Ahmed’s recommendations and will dissolve all intra-party bodies in days to come.
Justice Wajihuddin had been tasked by PTI chief Imran Khan to scrutinize complaints related to PTI’s intra-party elections held in 2013. After conducting his probe, Justice Wajihuddin had recommended that the party dissolve all bodies and hold a re-election.
“Respecting Justice Wajihuddin’s findings, the party has decided to conduct a re-election within its folds,” said Qureshi. “Till elections are held again, persons and bodies nominated by Imran Khan will represent the party on the national level.”
Qureshi went on to say that PTI is a democratic party and will always promote democratic values.
“This development is a first for Pakistan, where a political party is dissolving its bodies on the recommendations of an independent commission,” said Qureshi.
