| Abstract | ||
| Tehreek-e-Insaf is a political party in Pakistan, founded In 1996 by former national cricket team captain Imran Khan. It is a centrist movement that advocates an egalitarian Islamic democracy that aims to establish a welfare state, where the state Is responsible for education, health, and the employability of citizens, promote freedom of thought, abolish personal Income tax, dismantle religious discrimination, and fight corruption, political profiteering, and hereditary positions. It Is distinguished by Its boldness in Its approach and breaking taboos in criticism. For the first time, Pakistan witnessed sharp criticism and a strict discourse that extended to Institutions such as the army and the judiciary, which is what characterized the movement, which confirmed that Its emergence was an objection to the current situation in Pakistan. The movement ranked second in the number of voters’ votes and third in the number of seats It won in the Pakistani parliament In 2013. It claims to be the largest party In Pakistan in terms of membership, with more than ten million members inside and outside Pakistan. The movement is classified as the only non-family party in mainstream Pakistani politics, and has a broad popular base, as it is the largest party In the Khyber Agency. Pakhtunkhwa, and the second largest party In the provinces of Punjab and Karachi. Since the 2018 elections, the movement has become a star and a difficult number In the path of Pakistani politics, and the Pakistani street has become subject to Its popular movement. | ||
