The ongoing legal shake-up within PTI took another twist as party founder Imran Khan has once again decided to retain senior lawyer Salman Akram Raja despite earlier reports of his resignation.
🔹 Background:
Salman Akram Raja, a top constitutional lawyer, had reportedly stepped down as Khan’s counsel in recent high-profile cases.
His resignation was seen as part of a broader wave of legal team changes amid internal PTI rifts and mounting court cases.
However, in a surprise reversal, Imran Khan reaffirmed confidence in Raja and retained him as his lawyer.
🔹 Why It Matters:
Raja has been representing Khan in crucial cases involving constitutional rights, disqualification challenges, and May 9 proceedings.
The decision signals that Khan is not ready to lose his strongest legal voice during a time when PTI faces both political isolation and judicial challenges.
It also highlights continuing confusion and instability within Khan’s legal team strategy.
