Overview

• Posting on X, Irfan Siddiqui called parliamentary standing committees the soul of parliament and pressed PTI to stay active in them.
• Siddiqui predicted PTI could soon resign from parliament, asserting such a move would be driven by personal interests and end in embarrassment for the party.
• He further claimed some judges might resign for what he termed mutual interests, a prediction presented without independent confirmation.
• His comments follow PTI’s withdrawal from National Assembly and Senate committees and its decision not to contest recent by-elections, steps reported as part of a pressure strategy directed by Imran Khan.
• The warnings come as rifts in the Supreme Court remain visible, with four justices declining a full-court meeting on SC Rules 2025 and calling the session cosmetic and not legally valid.
