RAWALPINDI: In an effort to bring political stability to the nation, imprisoned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan on Saturday laid out three requirements for negotiations with the government.
Informally speaking with the media in the courtroom, Khan stated, “The first condition is that my cases should be dismissed, the second is to release our party members, and the third is to return our mandate.”
Khan has often declined to engage in negotiations with the ruling coalition; but, he consented to do so last month and chose Mahmood Khan Achakzai, the chairman of the Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP), to lead the discussions.
Remembering that he had discussions with Qamar Javed Bajwa, the former chief of staff of the army, Gen. (retd.),
“The big boss, known as ‘baray sahab,’ decided not to hold elections,” Khan stated, underscoring the importance of his party remembering the “February 8 robbery,” which alludes to the purported manipulation of the polls.
Khan issued a warning, threatening to go on a hunger strike and draw attention to the issue worldwide.
Regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling on reserved seats, the founder of PTI expressed his satisfaction with the ruling, referring to it as a “positive development”.
