Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf constitutes Arif Alvi-led committee to address internal rifts

The committee has been asked to address the internal rifts and submit recommendations within a week. Arif Alvi will chair the committee, which will hold meetings with PTI leaders and stakeholders to hear their concerns and grievances.

The development came a day after the messages of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's sister Aleema Khan and PTI leader Raoof Hasan's messages regarding Imran Khan's wife, Bushra Bibi, were leaked.

The messages revealed Aleema Khan asking Raoof Hasan to stop spreading Bushra Bibi's message which states a meeting with Imran Khan in jail, as it will incite the disinformation cell, according to ARY News report.

Sources termed Aleema Khan's message "foolish" and called on Raoof Hasan not to share it further. The message allegedly sent by Bushra Bibi claimed that she was not permitted to meet Imran Khan alone in prison and that the jailer was being pressurised to beat Imran Khan, ARY News reported.

The message also mentioned a conversation between Imran Khan and the jailer. In the leaked WhatsApp message, Aleema Khan denied that Imran Khan made any such statement and urged Raoof Hasan not to spread that message.

Speaking to reporters, PTI and JUI-F spokespersons confirmed the ongoing talks and the constitution of committees to oversee parliamentary affairs, according to ARY News report.
