Salman Akram Raja, a senior leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), resigned from his position as the party’s secretary general on Thursday.
Earlier, Raja claimed that at least 20 PTI supporters lost their lives during the party’s “do-or-die” protest in Islamabad.
“In yesterday’s protest, at least 20 PTI supporters were martyred. We have the complete bio-data and videos of eight of them,” Raja said in a video statement shared on social media on Wednesday.
He added, “Details about the others will be released to the media soon.”
Raja also alleged that the party was being denied access to workers receiving medical treatment in Islamabad hospitals.
