Bakhtiar said that he had warned the party's top leadership about the dangers of the PTI's new political strategy, which involved confronting state institutions. He said that he was disappointed that the party had not heeded his warnings.
Bakhtiar's resignation is a significant blow to the PTI. He is a popular leader in the party and his resignation is likely to demoralize PTI workers. It is also a sign of the growing rift within the PTI.
