About PTI Parliamentarians

In 1930, Allama Iqbal formally presented the idea of a separate Muslim state in the northwest of the Indian subcontinent while addressing a gathering in Allahabad. Later, Chaudhry Rehmat Ali named this concept “Pakistan” in 1933. The main principles of this idea were:

1. 1. Establishment of an independent Muslim government.
   2. Rejection of any alternative schemes other than partition.
   3. Protection of Muslims in Hindu-majority areas.

This movement progressed under the sincere leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. His political efforts aimed at establishing a welfare state based on the universal principles of Islam, where citizens could enjoy equal rights without discrimination, and the state system would operate on justice and merit.

Finally, in 1947, Pakistan came into existence as a result of the tireless efforts of Muslims in the subcontinent and the honest leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Unfortunately, from the creation of Pakistan until today, the remnants of the colonial system could not be completely removed from the country’s political structure. As a result, Allama Iqbal’s vision of an Islamic welfare state has largely remained a dream. The wealthy became wealthier, the poor remained trapped in poverty, and underdeveloped regions could not progress.

Amid this frustration, political parties emerged to steer the nation toward progress, including the Tehreek-e-Islahat Pakistan (TIP), a party registered in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Election Commission of Pakistan.

On September 10, 2023, the core committee of TIP held a meeting and took several new steps to strengthen democracy and contribute to the establishment of a robust and stable system:

1. 1. The party was given a new name: instead of Tehreek-e-Islahat Pakistan, it is now called Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarians (PTI-P).

   2. The party flag was also changed.

Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran:

(وَاعْتَصِمُوْا بِحَبْلِ اللّٰهِ جَمِيْعًا وَّلَا تَفَرَّقُوْا)

And hold fast, all of you together, to the rope of Allah and do not become divided among yourselves. (Al-Imran 3:103)

This verse instructs all Muslims to remain united. It is well known that unity is the backbone of every nation’s strength. The emphasis on holding firmly (Jami’an) and the prohibition against division (Wala Tafarraqu) makes it clear that this unity is required collectively as a group. Therefore, the party has adopted this verse as a principle of action, believing that through unity, even the most difficult tasks can be accomplished.

As Allama Iqbal said:

“An individual exists in connection with the nation; alone, he is nothing.
A wave in the river is insignificant outside the river.”

The party has a Central Executive Committee (CEC) to oversee its affairs at the central level. The CEC is the highest decision-making body, responsible for formulating policies and strategies. It consists of elected officers, including the Party Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary General, and others.

The Party establishes provincial and local structures that work under the guidance of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) to coordinate regional activities and contribute to the Party’s objectives.
