PTI Chairman Gauhar Khan Calls for Moving Forward from Past Mistakes

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gauhar Khan has termed the role of the establishment during the PTI government as a past mistake and emphasized the need to move forward rather than dwell on history.

Speaking exclusively to SAMAA, Gauhar Khan stated that PTI has launched its anti-government movement, and other opposition parties are expected to join their cause. He expressed optimism that journalists, civil society, and political entities would also extend their support.

Key Statements by Gauhar Khan:

  • When asked about the establishment’s involvement during PTI’s tenure, he responded, "What happened before has happened; now we must move forward."
  • He acknowledged past mistakes, stating, "If mistakes were made before, they should not be repeated. It is enough to rectify them and apologize."
  • He reaffirmed PTI founder Imran Khan’s stance: "If anything happened during my era, I want to apologize."
  • He contrasted PTI’s rule with the current government, saying, "During our era, we did not engage in political revenge, did not file false cases, or imprison anyone. What is happening now is in front of everyone."

PTI’s Anti-Government Movement Gains Momentum

Gauhar Khan highlighted that PTI’s movement against the government is gaining traction, with other opposition forces aligning with their struggle. He hinted that the coming weeks could see a broader alliance against the current administration.

Political Landscape & Public Response

PTI’s stance reflects a strategic shift as the party seeks to distance itself from past controversies while mobilizing public support against the government. However, political analysts believe that the establishment’s role in governance remains a contentious issue, and moving forward will require more than just apologies.

With PTI’s political resurgence, the next phase of Pakistan’s political battle is expected to be intense and highly charged.
