data-start=\"143\" data-end=\"505\"><strong>ISLAMABAD: Internal discord within Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has become increasingly visible in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with party sources confirming widening cracks among senior leadership.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"143\" data-end=\"505\">These tensions have begun to weaken the organisational framework, and party workers are now openly expressing concerns over the direction and strategy of the party.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"507\" data-end=\"793\">According to insiders, key leaders have opted to remain silent publicly to avoid further escalation resulting from contradictory statements.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"507\" data-end=\"793\">The disagreements, especially over matters like the provincial budget, are said to have severely tarnished PTI\u2019s image and internal cohesion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"1238\"><strong data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"850\">Communication Breakdown and Social Media Distortion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"1238\">Party members report that statements by various leaders are being misrepresented or distorted on social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"1238\">This miscommunication has added to internal mistrust, prompting several leaders to boycott important parliamentary and consultative sessions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"1238\">Sources say that internal consultations now lack inclusivity and clarity, pushing more members toward disengagement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1689\">PTI&#8217;s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa President, Junaid Akbar, voiced serious concerns over the party\u2019s current decision-making structure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1689\">He stated that access to PTI\u2019s founding leader is restricted to a small circle, leaving most leadership out of key policy decisions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1689\">\u201cWe don\u2019t even know who is issuing instructions on critical matters,\u201d Akbar said.<br data-start=\"1584\" data-end=\"1587\" \/>He added that participation in committee meetings is meaningless under such exclusionary conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"2018\"><strong data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1724\">Risk of Further Fragmentation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"2018\">Akbar confirmed that the decision to skip the latest political committee meeting was a direct response to the leadership&#8217;s non-inclusive approach.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"2018\">He warned that continued sidelining of senior figures would eventually cause irreparable damage to the party\u2019s organisation in the province.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2020\" data-end=\"2266\">Sources close to the matter also suggest that more prominent PTI figures are preparing to publicly share their reservations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2020\" data-end=\"2266\">This could potentially heighten the instability already threatening the party\u2019s political grip in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: Internal discord within Pakistan
