Senator Irfan Siddiqui condemned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf for blocking constitutional processes through social media statements. The PML-N leader chairs the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee and heads the Parliamentary Party. He accused the opposition party of preventing elected representatives from completing oath ceremonies in provincial assemblies. Siddiqui compared current PTI tactics to previous actions by former Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri and President Arif Alvi during the no-confidence motion against Imran Khan. The senator argued that PTI demonstrates no genuine respect for democratic traditions.
PTI supporters have obstructed assembly proceedings where new members attempt to take the required oaths. Siddiqui questioned how the party expects reconciliation while undermining electoral processes. He stated that blocking oath ceremonies will fail just as efforts to stop the no-confidence motion failed previously. The senator characterized PTI as unsuitable for parliamentary democracy. He described the party as better suited for street protests and violent demonstrations rather than legislative work.
