Raja had initially stepped down from his position after facing criticism from some party members for failing to travel from Lahore to Islamabad to join a protest alongside a convoy of demonstrators.\u00a0 Before that, he had issued a video message day addressing the objections raised against him, a day after the eventful November 27 retreat of the PTI leadership and workers from the federal capital during the much-hyped &#8220;do-or-die&#8221; protest.\u00a0 He also explained that the government&#8217;s strict security measures, including roadblocks and bridge closures, had made it impossible for him to reach Islamabad to participate in the protest. In his statement, the PTI secretary-general made it clear that he did not believe in theatrics or symbolic gestures like reaching D-Chowk merely for photo opportunities.\u00a0 \u201cIt is not appropriate for me to act in such a manner,\u201d he remarked. \u201cI will always be honest with you, explaining both what I am capable of doing and what I am not,\u201d he added. Besides Salman,\u00a0Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) Chairman Sahibzada Hamid Raza had also resigned from a key position in the PTI.\u00a0 The resignations came after the abrupt end to the PTI&#8217;s protest in Islamabad following a crackdown by the law enforcers, which saw nearly 1,000 arrests in the wee hours of last Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- Salman Akram Raja has retracted his resignation as the secretary-general of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in adherence to the party&#8217;s directive. \u201cYes, he [Raja] has withdrawn his resignation, as the party did not accept it and asked him to continue,\u201d confirmed PTI Information-Secretary Waqas Akram when approached by\u00a0The News.\u00a0 Waqas further elaborated that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94035,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
