Imran Khan Calls for Meeting with PTI Negotiation Team to Advance Talks

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has emphasized the importance of meeting with his nominated negotiation team to make the ongoing talks with the government meaningful. In a statement issued through his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Khan said that while he appreciated the efforts of his party’s negotiation committee, it was crucial for him to personally meet with the team to gain a clear understanding of the issues at hand.

Imran Khan has appointed Sahibzada Hamid Raza as the spokesperson for the PTI's negotiation process. He further underscored that for negotiations to yield results, the government must meet two critical demands: the release of under-trial political prisoners and the establishment of a judicial commission consisting of senior judges to investigate the incidents of May 9 and November 26.

"If these two demands are implemented, PTI will consider postponing the civil disobedience movement," Khan's statement read. However, he expressed concern that the government may attempt to sideline the investigation into the incidents, a move he vowed to oppose.

Khan also criticized the recent decisions of military courts, calling them unconstitutional and harmful to Pakistan’s international standing. He warned that such actions could lead to economic sanctions for the country.

The statement also touched on the issue of political engineering in Pakistan, which, according to Khan, has been acknowledged by the judiciary. He argued that the suppression of PTI has undermined democracy, the independence of the judiciary, and the rule of law in Pakistan.

Khan further lamented that the lack of respect for the rule of law and an independent judiciary was driving capital out of Pakistan, and without investment, the country would struggle to progress.

He also commented on the 26th Constitutional Amendment, claiming it had effectively crippled the judiciary, and expressed disappointment over the decisions of the Constitutional Bench, which he argued were embarrassing for the Supreme Court.
