The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has initiated a fundraising campaign this month to support its operations, seeking financial contributions from its parliamentarians and ticket holders, as reported by ARY News.
According to the report, a letter sent to party members acknowledged PTI’s significant financial difficulties and requested that lawmakers and ticket holders each contribute Rs240,000 annually to the party fund. The letter specified that the payment could be made in two installments, with Rs120,000 due every six months.
The party has urged its members to make their first installment by January 2025, as part of an effort to stabilize its finances during these challenging times.
Interestingly, this fundraising drive coincides with PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s call for a civil disobedience movement, urging overseas Pakistanis to stop sending remittances to Pakistan in order to pressure the government into meeting his demands.

While advocating for economic resistance, PTI is facing a severe financial crisis, leading the party to make this urgent appeal for funds to keep its operations running.
Previously, PTI Central Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram stated that the first phase of the civil disobedience movement is underway and will continue.
He also pointed out the negative impact of internet shutdowns, which have resulted in the suspension of millions of dollars in remittances. Waqas accused the government of violating the Constitution and the law, stressing the absence of peace and order in the country.
He clarified that the party’s negotiations with the government are not contingent on any court decisions, asserting, “We are not seeking deals with the government but demanding justice.” Waqas further emphasized that Imran Khan’s release will occur solely through the legal process.
He described the civil disobedience movement as a stand against a corrupt system and expressed confidence that its success would become evident within a few months.
He also reiterated that overseas Pakistanis, who have long fought for their rights, are now demanding their right to vote.
