Imran Khan Orders PTI to Forge Broad Alliance With Fazlur Rehman

Islamabad: PTI founder Imran Khan has ordered the party leadership to form a broad alliance with Maulana Fazlur Rehman.

According to a private television channel, Khan has rejected a proposal that PTI members return to parliamentary committees in parliament.

Latif Khosa had advised the return of PTI members to parliamentary committees during a meeting with Barrister Salman Safdar at Adiala Jail on Wednesday.

The founder said the hard line and the boycott against the current government should remain in parliament, as maintaining ties with or cooperating with the government gives it legitimacy.

Confidence in opposition leaders

Khan reaffirmed his confidence in the opposition leaders in the National Assembly and Senate, Nasir Abbas and Mahmood Achakzai. He directed that decisions on PTI’s politics remain with Mahmood Achakzai and Raja Nasir Abbas.

Khan said decisions on forming an opposition alliance should be taken by the opposition leaders, not the PTI leadership. He directed that opposition leaders hold talks with Maulana Fazlur Rehman and that the opposition alliance move forward.

According to PTI sources, two lawyers who met Khan complained to him about Salman Akram Raja.

Khan is willing to secure his wife’s release and treatment. He reiterated his position on the provinces and directed that the stance on the 28th Amendment remain the same as the position taken on the 26th and 27th Amendments.

Latif Khosa will meet Mahmood Achakzai and Raja Nasir Abbas.
