Shah Mahmood Qureshi: PTI Will Face Courts, No Need for a Deal

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi has declared that he is innocent in the May 9 cases and that PTI does not require any deal to resolve legal matters. He expressed confidence in facing the courts and emerging victorious.

Speaking informally to the media outside Lahore’s Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC), Qureshi made bold claims about a political realignment in Pakistan.

Key Statements by Shah Mahmood Qureshi:

🔹 "I swear on oath that I am innocent in the May 9 cases."
🔹 "PTI does not need any deal, we will fight in the courts and win, Inshallah."
🔹 "A grand political alliance is in the making, with key leaders supporting PTI’s stance."
🔹 "Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Miftah Ismail, Mahmood Achakzai & Fazlur Rehman align with our position."
🔹 "It is unprecedented that the IMF delegation took a briefing from the Chief Justice—this raises serious concerns."

Political Implications of a Grand Alliance

If a new political coalition is indeed forming, it could reshape Pakistan’s political landscape. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Miftah Ismail, Mahmood Khan Achakzai, and Maulana Fazlur Rehman have all had differing political affiliations, but Qureshi’s statement suggests a potential realignment of opposition forces.

Legal & Political Challenges Ahead

Despite Qureshi’s strong stance, PTI leaders continue to face legal battles over the May 9 riots. However, his confidence in facing courts instead of seeking deals reflects PTI’s strategy moving forward.

Public Reaction & Political Future

Qureshi’s claims of a grand opposition alliance will be closely watched as political negotiations unfold. If true, it could lead to significant shifts in Pakistan’s political power structure.
