After being behind bars for months, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan said Friday that he is a politician, who is “open for dialogue” and is “ready to talk”. “For the last 19 months I’ve been saying that I’m ready to talk […] I’m a politician,” he told journalists in Adiala jail, where he’s incarcerated in numerous cases.
The PTI chief, who was ousted in a no-confidence move in April of 2022, has been facing consecutive setbacks in the lead up to the general elections. While referring to the prevailing political landscape in the country, he said that steps were being taken to form a “controlled parliament”.
“My biggest mistake was to accept a weak government. Instead of a weak government, I should have held elections again. It would be better to sit in the opposition rather than a weak coalition government.”
