Salman Akram Raja Steps Down following a principled disagreement within PTI; he pledges to continue providing pro-bono legal support to the party.
Salman Akram Raja, PTI’s Secretary-General, has opted to resign from his position, citing a recent incident that compelled him to make a firm, principle-based decision. He announced his intent to formally request party founder Imran Khan to relieve him of his duties starting Tuesday. DawnARY NEWS
In a message posted on X, Salman Akram Raja emphasized that his life has always aligned with integrity: “My life is an open book. None of my actions contradict any principle. I cannot accept any compromise on intellectual or financial integrity.” He added that, regardless of relinquishing the political role, he would continue offering legal services to PTI without compensation.

Reports indicate that Raja’s decision was influenced by irreconcilable differences with Aleema Khan—Imran Khan’s sister—regarding the party’s stance on upcoming by-elections. The internal party political committee reportedly leaned in favor of participating (13 in favor vs. 9 opposed), which belied Aleema’s position and left Raja disheartened.

Reflecting on his tenure, Raja reiterated his commitment to PTI’s mission for constitutional supremacy, justice, and democratic principles—as well as his willingness to remain a legal resource during tumultuous times. Pakistan TodayGeoARY NEWS
