On Tuesday, Rana Sanaullah, the prime minister’s advisor on political issues, made the prediction that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Maulvi Khan might be released from prison on June 27.
Speaking to a private TV channel, Sanaullah emphasized that the government will do everything in its power to keep Khan in custody, citing worries over his plans to sow discord.
He promised that there would be no major disruption in spite of the possible leak.
“Chaos and anarchy is Imran Khan’s only message,” Sanaullah declared, adding that there is no substitute for dialogue in a democratic setting. Negotiations, he pointed out, could only take place if Khan abandons his present position of encouraging chaos.
Sanaullah reaffirmed that if Khan persists in his goal of disruption, the government will respond firmly, but he also expressed a willingness to communication if the situation allows. “Our behavior will reflect our mentality. Whenever there is a chance, we are prepared to speak,” he stated.
The advisor went on to attack Khan for not adhering to democratic values, saying that nobody has the authority to do harm to the nation. “We will ensure that Imran Khan remains detained within the bounds of the law,” he stated.
