Jailed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan has rebuffed the claims of his party’s chief spokesperson that the embattled opposition is ready to hold talks with the establishment.
The former ruling party’s spokesperson Raoof Hasan had claimed that a dialogue between his party and the establishment is inevitable for which PTI is prepared.
Speaking to journalists at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail on Thursday, the PTI founder said there is no use in holding talks with the establishment.
The cricketer-turned-politician said that Hasan had some misunderstanding, adding that he gave a clear message after the Islamabad power show that his party would not hold talks with anyone. Prior to Khan’s statement, the PTI spokesperson had told a private television channel that the Imran-founded party was ready for talks with the establishment yesterday and was prepared even today for this exercise.
“It has been PTI’s policy that we want to engage with the establishment and I will go a step ahead to say that dialogue between my party and the establishment is inevitable for this state and we must not delay this,” Hasan contended. Imran on Thursday directed the party to postpone its power show scheduled in Rawalpindi on September 28. Talking to media in Adiala Jail, the former prime minister said that he knew that the government wouldn’t allow PTI to hold a rally.
