Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaf (PTI) President and former Prime Minister Imran Khan, Imran Khan, confirmed that he had asked the senior leader of the Azam Swati party to initiate dialogue with the military establishment.
Addressing party leaders and lawyers at a meeting at Adiala prison in Rawalpindi on Tuesday, Imran stressed that awareness was not linked to its legal affairs but was only done for Pakistan.
According to illuminated sources, Imran told his visitors that he had never closed the door in dialogue with the establishment. However, he said that his party had stopped talks with the current government, which he described as lacking real authority.
Those who met the founder of the PTI included the lawyer for the president of PTI Gohar Ali Khan, Senator Ali Zafar and lawyers Zaheer Abbas, Mubashar Awan and Ali Imran.
During the meeting, Senator Zafar asked Imran’s response to a recent Swati video declaration.
In the video, Swati revealed that Imran had ordered him to engage in the establishment while keeping the nature of confidential discussions. Swati added that although Imran was publicly critical of military leaders, efforts continued behind the scenes to restore dialogue.
In response, Imran reiterated that the dialogue initiative was not aimed at looking for personal favors or legal leniency. “It is Pakistan, democracy, the rule of law and respect for the mandate of the people,” said Imran.
He added that he was determined to fight against his legal battles before the court and will not pursue any stolen relief. Imran stressed once again that even if he had excluded talks with the government, he remains open to engagement with the military establishment.
