PTI demands ‘unfettered access’ to jailed Imran Khan for serious negotiations with govt
“We don’t PTI founder’s release through executive order,” clarifies Barrister Gohar
The Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf (PTI) has demanded “unfettered access” to jailed party founder Imran Khan to continue serious negotiations with the government.
Addressing a joint press conference flanked by PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja and chairman, Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Omar Ayub said: “During the second round of talks, our negotiation team had asked the government team to arrange their an unmonitored and unfettered meeting with PTI fonder Imran Khan.”
“There should be no monitoring during the meeting [between PTI leadership and the former prime minister in Adiala Jail].”
The ongoing negotiations between the coalition government at the Centre and embattled PTI are likely to face stalemate as the former ruling party on earlier today said that the third round of talks between the two sides would be useless if their leaders were denied access to imprisoned former prime minister.
Addressing a press conference, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja said: “Third sitting will be useless if [PTI leaders] denied permission to meet PTI founder [in jail].”
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
