- Dubs parliament as ‘fake and major insult to public mandate.’
- Condemns MPs’ confinement for backing ‘elected and real PM.’
- Elected senator from KP, Saeed had not taken oath while in hiding.
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Murad Saeed has resigned from his Senate seat, sending his resignation to Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, the Imran Khan-founded party confirmed on Saturday.
In a post on PTI’s official X account, Saeed urged all party leaders and members to immediately resign from provincial assemblies, the Senate, and other legislative seats.
In the letter, also posted on the party’s X handle, Saeed said the parliament was “fake and illegitimate” and had become “a major insult to the public mandate”, accusing it of being complicit in attempts to distort the country’s political future.
Murad regretted that the lawmakers took oath to uphold the constitution, yet they proceeded to distort it, saying that the “constitution was disfigured after they took oath on it”.
He said the parliament’s building was “trampled with boots and its members abducted while the custodians of the house remained silent”, and that under the name of democracy it had turned into “a rubber stamp of unconstitutional forces”.
Saeed further said the lawmakers who demanded basic human rights for the “elected and real prime minister” were left beleaguered. “I hereby resign in protest.”
It is pertinent to mention that Saeed had been elected senator from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in July 2025, but could not take the oath due to being in hiding.
