Rana Sanaullah Slams PTI, Accuses Ali Amin Gandapur of Having

Advisor to the Prime Minister, Rana Sanaullah, criticized Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for its ongoing attempts to create political instability in the country. Speaking at a press conference, Sanaullah also addressed internal party conflicts and the role of PTI leader Ali Amin Gandapur in the ongoing political discourse.

Rana Sanaullah claimed that the PTI was embroiled not only in a battle with other political parties but also with itself and the institutions. “Till date, no one has come forward to confirm that they were present on November 26, the day of the alleged confrontation,” he said, indicating the party's internal divisions.

Sanaullah’s comments came amidst heightened political tensions following PTI's vocal opposition to the government. He argued that PTI’s efforts to stir instability have had a damaging impact on the country, adding that these conflicts within the party itself have further exacerbated political chaos.

Pakistan’s Economic Outlook

On a more positive note, the Prime Minister’s advisor emphasized that Pakistan has managed to overcome its economic crisis and avoid a potential default. “We have successfully steered Pakistan away from the brink of economic collapse. The country is now on the right path, and if this journey continues, we will overcome the remaining challenges,” he said.

He acknowledged the difficulties faced by the common man in the country but expressed hope that the situation was gradually improving. “The difficulties that the people of Pakistan have endured will eventually decrease. The economy will improve in the coming days, and things will get easier,” he assured.

PTI’s Political Strategy and Negotiation Progress

Rana Sanaullah also addressed the ongoing negotiations between the ruling government and PTI, stating that his government had made efforts to create a platform for national dialogue. “We wanted to move forward with the negotiations in a better way and included all political parties in the committee for talks,” he explained.

He confirmed that the government had already held a meeting with PTI founder Imran Khan to discuss the terms of engagement. However, delays in the process occurred as National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq was abroad, postponing further discussions.

Sanaullah reiterated that the government expected PTI to present written demands during the negotiations, as initially agreed. “We had hoped for a serious commitment from PTI to submit their demands in writing, but from our recent discussions, it seems they may not follow through on that,” he said, casting doubt on the seriousness of PTI’s intentions in the talks.

Ali Amin Gandapur’s Role and Alleged Misunderstanding

One of the more pointed comments from Sanaullah was his criticism of PTI leader Ali Amin Gandapur. He stated that while PTI had been vocal about its demand for the release of its founder, Imran Khan, the pressure on the government was merely verbal. “There has been no official statement from those whom Imran Khan had hoped would support him in this matter,” he noted.

Sanaullah then made a sharp remark regarding Ali Amin Gandapur’s role, claiming that the latter’s contacts were not “two-way” but rather “all-round.” This statement implies that Gandapur may be creating confusion or misunderstandings, particularly in relation to PTI's negotiations with the government. “Ali Amin Gandapur is telling the founder of PTI something, but he must be telling it to himself,” he remarked, suggesting that Gandapur might be misrepresenting the party's position.

In response to recent comments by Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, who claimed that the PTI founder was not in contact with anyone, Sanaullah appeared to cast further doubt on Gandapur’s role in the ongoing talks. “There may be some misunderstanding created by Ali Amin Gandapur,” he added, hinting at internal discord within PTI regarding its leadership’s communication with the government.

Conclusion

Rana Sanaullah’s statements highlight the ongoing political polarization in Pakistan, with PTI and the government engaged in a battle of narratives. The continued efforts for negotiations reflect the hope that a political resolution can be reached, though the path remains fraught with challenges. With the country’s economic outlook showing signs of recovery, Sanaullah’s comments on PTI’s disruptive role are likely to intensify the political divide in the coming months.
