Former interior minister and Advisor to Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah said on Saturday that
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur’s bellicose posture was no more than rhetoric and that the provincial government would do what the federal government asked him to do.
Talking to the media in Lahore, Sanaullah, also a PML-N stalwart, said that the government had no objection to parleys between the PTI and the establishment. “Right from the very start, the PTI has issues with the establishment,” he said, adding, “The party wants the latter to stand by it; to intervene in the country’s politics.” When the PTI was in power, the adviser went on to say, it wanted to crush the opposition. “But when the establishment did not support it, its leaders started calling army generals Mir Jaafar and Mir Sadiq,” he added.
He was of the view that by looking at former prime minister and ex-PTI chairman Imran Khan’s picture leaked following his appearance in the Supreme Court via a video link on Thursday, one got the impression as if all prohibited substances were being provided to him inside the jail.
