LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan has said that he is ready to constitute a committee for talks with the ‘powerful quarters’ and he is ready to step back if that panel is convinced on two things.
He addressed his supporters soon after PTI leader and former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry quit the party.
‘the people have decided’.
He expressed disappointment that in the pursuit of getting him sidelined, the country is sinking and people are facing economic woes.
He said that his detained party members are being treated like inhumanely and those to agree to leave get a clean chit from everything.
PTI chairman claimed that whenever probe happens, it would be established that arson on May 9 was preplanned.
He also questioned the journalists and human rights organisations on remaining silent on the atrocities being committed against PTI workers.
Imran Khan remarked that Shireen Mazari had been subjected to cruel treatment, and he expressed satisfaction that she decided to exit politics and free herself from the suffering she had endured.
He termed Shireen’s quitting politics as a loss not only to PTI but Pakistani politics. Imran Khan said that the people were being deprived of their fundamental rights and the law of the jungle is prevalent in the country.
He questioned why no investigation had been initiated into the killing of 25 peaceful protesters who lost their lives due to direct gunfire from law enforcement agencies (LEAs) on May 9.
The ex-PM expressed that his party members are experiencing an exceptional level of pressure, as they are being threatened with various consequences, including the destruction of their properties and businesses, as well as potential abductions of their children.
