In a surprising move, the leadership of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has refrained from giving physical media interviews in recent days, citing “strict instructions” from party leadership. Sources close to the party have revealed that the directive comes as part of a strategy to manage the narrative surrounding the party’s activities and prevent media controversies.
The decision has sparked speculation among political analysts and media circles, with some suggesting it is an attempt to control the flow of information amidst growing political tension. Others believe it may be linked to ongoing legal challenges and party concerns over media coverage.
PTI representatives have yet to provide a formal statement clarifying the exact reasons behind the move, but insiders suggest the party is focused on internal matters, including strategy discussions and future plans, which it wishes to keep private for now.
As a result of this directive, PTI leaders have opted for written statements and virtual meetings, instead of appearing on television or in front of physical reporters. This shift has raised questions about the party’s approach to media transparency and its broader political strategy moving forward.
Critics argue that this decision may limit PTI’s engagement with the public, especially at a time when the political climate remains volatile. However, the party’s leadership maintains that the move is in the best interest of both the party and the country’s political discourse.
