The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (Urdu: پاکستان تحريک انصاف) (Pakistan Movement for Justice) is a political party in Pakistan. At the last legislative elections, 20 October 2002, the party won 0.8% of the popular vote and 1 out of 272 elected members^{[citation needed]}. PTI is headed by Cricket legend Imran Khan. "Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem" is the slogan of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. Imran Khan, the chairman of the party is also the Chancellor of the University of Bradford, England. He has a BA in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics and is a Master of Arts of the University of Oxford.^[1] He has recently put forward a solution for Pakistan's issues related to its system. His solution has three points:

1. Independent Election Commission
2. Independent Judiciary
3. Independent Accountability Bureau

The party, which has a major influence in Pakistan's middle class,^{[citation needed]} is working for the implementation of this solution. One of its current ambitions is to remove the military from political power.

Imran Khan is a politician believing in social and economic development of Pakistani people through justice at all levels of the society through moderation while keeping in mind golden Islamic principles. PTI aims at taking Pakistani people out of this plight through education and enlightenment, PTI does not support the Musharaf's way of dealing things in Pakistan, neither does it support Mullah style. It strives to find a way in between these two extremes, i.e. without killing our own people for somebody else's sake and without training bombers to take revenge. The party's popularity has seen a meteoric rise among the masses especially among people of 18-30 age group who are inspired by Imran's charismatic leadership & boldness.The party believes Pakistan should be self reliant & should establish relations with the west at the same level & not as an employee.His acceptance of political mistakes is a first in the chequered history of Pakistani politics.

The party's agenda is to establish a just society based on humane values while continuously upholding the self-esteem of the nation of Pakistan. The PTI aims to restore the sovereign and inalienable right of the people to choose political and economic options in accordance with their social, cultural, and religious values. The PTI is a broad-based movement for change whose mission is to create a free society based on justice, and believe that national renewal is only possible if people are truly free.

PTI leadership pledges a commitment to:

• Freedom from political, economic and mental slavery - A self reliant modern Islamic Republic
• Freedom from injustice - Inexpensive and quick dispensation of justice
• Freedom from poverty - 50 percent increase in per capita income in 5 years
• Freedom from unemployment - Two million new jobs every year
• Freedom from homelessness - 200,000 new housing units every year and complete ownership right to millions living in Katchi Abadis (Slums)
• Freedom from illiteracy - Full literacy by 2010
• Freedom to generate wealth - Abolition of personal income tax
• Freedom from fear - Complete freedom of thought and expression
• Freedom for women - Free education up to university for girls from poor households
• Equal right for minorities - No religious discrimination

He is now considered as the only economic liberal leader on the national stage of Pakistani politics.
