Dr Arif Alvi denies reports PTI wants to make him party chairman
Says these speculations are an attempt to create confusion
KARACHI (Web Desk) - Former president of Pakistan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Dr Arif Alvi says rumour regarding his appointment as chairman of the party is 'unnecessary speculation'.
Dr Alvi said he was not being made chairman of the PTI. Alvi posted an explanatory statement in this regard on social media platform X.
Alvi said there were unnecessary speculations that the PTI founder wanted to make him the party chairman.
"These speculations are an attempt to create confusion in a party whose leadership is wrongfully and unjustly incarcerated but despite thousands of arrests, coercion, brutality and torture, PTI has remained vibrant.
"Chairman Gohar Khan is leading the party very well and has representation in parliament. I end this false and non-issue with this clear denial," he said.
"I want to work with people of Pakistan as along with stolen mandate, emotional and irrational scenario has been thrust upon us. Divisive and hateful narratives are being spread. As a nation we are, and we should remain united in our struggle," he said.
