PESHAWAR: Leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Murad Saeed has resigned from his Senate seat in protest and sent his resignation to his party leadership, urging collective resignations from all parliamentary forums.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader announced his resignation to the party chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and Secretary General Salman Akram Raja.
The lawmaker from PTI called for all members of the Senate National Assembly and Punjab and Sindh provincial assemblies to resign from their positions. He urged lawmakers to resign simultaneously as part of their protest activities.
The former prime minister should receive emergency medical attention with his doctors present according to Murad Saeed. The Supreme Court orders according to him have not been executed yet.
The PTI leader said that peaceful lawmakers who conducted a sit-in demonstration had been detained inside Parliament. He reported that young protesters had been blocking highways for 36 hours.
Party supporters needed to enhance their protests because the current government required stronger protest actions according to Murad Saeed.
Woman dies in ambulance as PTI protesters blocked motorway at Swabi Interchange
Earlier, Anwar Begum, a resident of Nowshera, died in an ambulance after the motorway was blocked at the Swabi Interchange during the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) ongoing protest.
According to sources, when turnout remained low, a small group of protesters blocked the road, directly affecting commuters and residents. The demonstrations, organised by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), led to significant disruption, with citizens bearing the brunt of the blockade.
Residents said such protests not only paralyse traffic but also disrupt daily life. Businesses suffer losses, daily wage earners return home empty-handed, patients struggle to reach hospitals, and students’ education is affected.
Condemning the incident, members of the public stated that political parties claiming to represent the people should ensure their actions do not endanger lives. They emphasised that resolving issues requires a serious and peaceful approach rather than road closures that create hardship for ordinary citizens.
The incident underscores how political unrest can have tragic consequences, highlighting the need to prioritise public safety in all circumstances.
