ISLAMABAD:
Prime Minister’s Advisor on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah on Tuesday urged the PTI to abandon its “hostile stance” towards the state, warning that continued confrontation could undermine party founder Imran Khan’s political influence, destabilize the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government and erode its public support.
Speaking to a private television channel, Sanaullah said that as a political leader in a democratic system, he felt obliged to advise Imran Khan to move away from what he described as a pattern of confrontation that has lasted for 13-15 years and instead engage in dialogue.
He warned that persisting with a hostile approach posed risks to the stability of the KP government and could further damage Khan’s popularity.
Terming the confrontational attitude as undemocratic, Sanaullah said repeated clashes with the state created political danger, weakened public trust and harmed governance. He stressed that democratic leadership required compromise and commitment, not perpetual confrontation that jeopardized the political position.
