Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said Wednesday he is ready to speak to “anyone who is in power” after his party’s top leaders began jumping ship following the May 9 riots. “I am forming a committee. It will talk to ‘anyone who is in power’ on two things — if it helps the country according to ‘them’, I will leave politics. Second, how is it beneficial for the country if elections are held in October,” Khan said while addressing his supporters.
“Convince us on these two things. If they believe and satisfy the committee that my leaving politics will benefit the country, I will step back and leave politics,” he said.
