‘All the separated take turns…’. These days this song is fitting perfectly on Imran Khan. One by one the leaders close to him are leaving. Now call it army pressure or something else… Many leaders have said goodbye to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Now another discussion is going on in the Pakistani media and if it turns out to be true then Imran is sure to get a big blow this time.
Discussion is going on in Pakistani local media that Imran Khan’s close and Pakistan President Arif Alvi may also resign from his post. If this happens, Niyazi’s difficulties are sure to increase. In 1996, Arif Alvi and Imran Khan together formed PTI. Alvi, a dentist by profession, took over as the President in September 2018. He defeated Fazal-ur-Rehman and Aitzaz Hasan in the election.
what is the reason
Right now this is just speculation, but there are many reasons, due to which the apprehension deepens. First, it is believed that Arif Alvi tried hard to bring about a reconciliation between the army and Imran Khan. But he could not succeed. The violence that broke out on 9 May made things more difficult. Arif Alvi is very disappointed with all this. Although some media are calling it a rumour.

In an interview given to Geo TV, he appealed to Imran to condemn this violence. He had said that it is very important to condemn this incident and at the same time it is also important to ensure that it does not happen again. He had also expressed ‘sorrow’ by writing a letter to Pak Army Chief General Asim Munir.

Supported Imran on many occasions
President Arif Alvi supported Imran Khan a lot during his confrontation with the government and the army. The President repeatedly appealed to hold elections in the country. He said that both the parties should sit together and fix a new date for the elections as soon as possible. Not only this, talking about registering a case under the Army Act after the May 9 violence, he said that while taking action, we have to take care of human rights as well. Along with this, he also talked about conducting an ‘impartial’ investigation.
Alvi’s son is also named in the violence.
Awab Alvi, son of Arif Alvi, was elected vice-president of the party’s Karachi division last year. There were also reports in the media that Awab was also involved in the May 9 violence and the army may take strict action against him as well.

President also accused
A former PTI leader has also dragged President Arif Alvi’s name in the 190 million pounds corruption case against Imran Khan. Faizal Vavda, former leader of PTI and who raised his voice against Imran, says, ‘The President has done what the enemy could not do’. He claims that Alvi’s role is behind the ‘misunderstanding’ between the PTI and the government.

Like Arif Alvi, his father was also a dentist. His father Dr. Habib ur Rehman Elahi Alvi used to be the dentist of India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru before partition. He came to Pakistan after partition. He was also associated with Jinnah.
