Imran Khan willing for conditional talks
Shares
Two of PTI chief Imran Khan's lawyers, after visiting him in jail, quoted him as saying, "I am willing to talk to all, but only about elections." Barrister Gohar Khan, one of his lawyers, shared, "Finally met Khan sahib at Attock jail with other colleagues. Thank God, he is in great spirit but is concerned about the ongoing uncertainty, inflation, and terrorism." Similarly, lawyer Nadeem Haider Panjutha posted, "
Khan sahib dismissed all fake news about him seeking pardon, worrying and wanting to leave the country. He said 'I will live and die in Pakistan.' He also said we are willing to talk to all but just on elections." Early elections have been a key demand of the PTI since Imran's prime ministerial term ended prematurely in April last year.
Despite efforts to negotiate with the then-Pakistan Democratic Movement-led government, elections remained elusive. PTI leaders stressed the need for elections within 90 days of the National Assembly's dissolution on August 9, but the Election Commission of Pakistan cited legal constraints for postponing elections. Imran Khan, still in jail, faces various legal cases, including one related to a missing diplomatic document.
