PTI has decried the “shameful” plan to “steal” seats reserved for women and minorities in the National Assembly.

In a statement on X, PTI accused the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) of distributing reserved seats among “mandate thieves” through “unconstitutional” plans.

Article 51 of the Constitution clearly lays out the basic principle of allocation of reserved seats, which are given to women and minorities in proportion to general seats, the party said.

“The Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) is the parliamentary party with the largest number of seats in the Centre, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

“The allocation of reserved seats to the [SIC] is part of an unconstitutional and undemocratic plan to illegally and forcibly convert the majority into a minority.”

PTI also vowed to take back the National and Punjab Assembly seats allocated through “fake Form 47s” and strongly resist the “unconstitutional” allocation of reserved seats.
