Moonis Elahi, a prominent leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the son of former chief minister of Punjab, has declared that despite the recent arrest of his father, Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, they will continue to remain loyal to Imran Khan and stay with PTI.
The arrest of Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, who currently serves as the president of PTI, took place near his residence, Zahoor Palace, in Lahore on Thursday evening. The anti-corruption unit, with the assistance of the local police, carried out the arrest. He is scheduled to appear before an anti-corruption court on Friday.
In response to his father’s arrest, Moonis Elahi took to Twitter to express his stance. He stated, “When the series of round-ups started from January, my father told me that even if he is arrested, they have to support Imran Khan.” Moonis further emphasized that both his father and mother had recently expressed the same sentiment. He also addressed the circulating rumors, asserting that his father had been apprehended on false charges. Moonis concluded his statement by affirming their unwavering commitment to PTI, saying, “We are and will remain in PTI, InshAllah.”
The arrest of a high-profile party leader like Chaudhry Parvez Elahi undoubtedly raises questions and speculation about the political dynamics within PTI. However, Moonis Elahi’s public declaration of loyalty to Imran Khan and PTI signals a firm commitment to the party despite the challenges they may currently face.
This statement by Moonis Elahi highlights the trust and belief he has in Imran Khan’s leadership and the vision of PTI. It also reflects the resilience and determination of the party members to stand by their principles, even in the face of adversity.
It is worth noting that political parties in Pakistan often experience internal and external pressures, including corruption allegations and arrests. However, Moonis Elahi’s statement underscores the importance of remaining united and steadfast in support of the party’s objectives and leadership.
The arrest of Chaudhry Parvez Elahi will undoubtedly have repercussions within the political landscape of Punjab, where he has played a significant role. As a veteran politician with a strong political presence, his absence will be felt. However, Moonis Elahi’s announcement reinforces the message that the PTI leadership remains intact and committed to its agenda.
The coming days will shed more light on the circumstances surrounding Chaudhry Parvez Elahi’s arrest and the impact it may have on PTI’s future. The party’s ability to navigate through this challenging situation and maintain the trust and support of its members will be crucial.

PTI, under the leadership of Imran Khan, will need to demonstrate strong governance, address the concerns raised, and continue to work towards its goals of building a prosperous and corruption-free Pakistan. Only then can it maintain the trust and confidence of its supporters and fulfill the promises made to the people of Pakistan.
