Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding member Akbar S. Babar has strongly criticized his own party, accusing it of engaging in "anti-national politics."
Speaking to the media outside the Election Commission, Babar referenced the six points recently presented by PTI’s founding chairman and compared them to the historic six points of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Babar warned that the power struggle within PTI could lead to dire consequences, similar to those witnessed in 1971. He recalled how Sheikh Mujib’s six points had led to the separation of East Pakistan, stating that "the Bengalis themselves buried those six points, yet those hungry for power sacrificed Pakistan."
He accused PTI leaders of prioritizing personal gains over national interests, emphasizing that history must not be repeated. "Even today, they are doing everything only for the sake of power. But remember, Insha Allah, no Sheikh Mujibur Rahman II will be born in Pakistan," he asserted.
Babar’s remarks come amid ongoing internal conflicts within PTI, with the party leadership facing legal and political challenges. His statements are likely to intensify the ongoing debate over PTI’s future direction and its approach to governance.
