Negotiations”In a recent statement, Sher Afzal Marwat, a member of the National Assembly and a key figure in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), claimed that the party’s founder, Imran Khan, may be released from jail within 45 days. Marwat revealed that backdoor negotiations between PTI and the establishment are currently underway, aimed at securing Khan’s release. According to Marwat, the negotiations are progressing positively, with two main conditions set by the establishment for Khan’s release.Sindh Makes History: Infant Formula Sales Banned Without Prescription
The conditions include imposing restraint on media interactions and ensuring that Khan does not make any statements that could potentially disrupt the negotiation process. Marwat expressed confidence that if there are no internal sabotage attempts within the party, Khan could be released within the specified timeframe. He emphasized that these negotiations are crucial for the future of the party and its leadership.
Marwat also shed light on previous negotiations that took place between PTI and the establishment. He mentioned that there had been five rounds of talks prior to the current negotiations, with two of those rounds being kept confidential. Marwat disclosed that during the negotiations on October 8, it was agreed that Khan would be released from jail within 15 days and would be elected to the assembly within 45 days. However, Marwat claimed that the process was derailed when Khan removed Ali Amin Gandapur as the principal guarantor, which reportedly raised concerns among the other parties involved in the negotiations.
In addition to discussing the negotiations, Marwat also criticized Alima Khan, a close associate of Imran Khan, for her alleged role in orchestrating a smear campaign against him. Marwat accused Alima Khan of using inappropriate language and behaving in a manner that suggested he was a personal employee rather than a party colleague. He further claimed that PTI’s social media team, which he alleged is under Alima Khan’s direct control, has been targeting him for over a year. Marwat stated that he is now prepared for a full confrontation and is willing to face any challenges that come his way.
The ongoing developments within PTI and the potential release of Imran Khan have significant implications for the party’s future and the broader political landscape in Pakistan. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how these negotiations will impact the party’s dynamics and its relationship with the establishment.
