Islamabad
\nPrime Minister\u2019s Coordinator for Information and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Affairs Ikhtiyar Wali Khan said the government has shut all avenues of dialogue with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, warning that authorities are now \u201cseriously considering\u201d shifting Imran Khan from Adiala Jail.
\nSpeaking at a news conference in Islamabad, he accused PTI of pursuing a strategy designed to destabilise the country, saying the party was hiding behind protests to fuel unrest. He said a \u201cclear line\u201d had now been drawn between \u201clove for Pakistan\u201d and \u201clove for Imran\u201d, as he criticised the former ruling party for targeting state institutions.
\nHe said PTI had attacked the same army that, in his words, had elevated Pakistan\u2019s standing globally. \u201cThe PTI founder\u2019s tweet is something that neither PTI can swallow nor spit out,\u201d he remarked, adding that the party\u2019s Peshawar rally had failed to draw crowds despite nationwide calls for participation. He also accused PTI of exploiting religion for political purposes, alleging that PTI was \u201cusing its politics to fuel terrorism\u201d, claiming there was \u201cno difference between TTP and PTI\u201d because of what he called repeated attacks on the army and the judiciary. He said PTI wanted a judiciary similar to the one that formed the Panama Bench.
\nQuestioning the party\u2019s governance record, he asked what projects PTI had initiated while in power, criticising it for failing to establish a single major hospital or university in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa over 13 years.
\nHe said even PTI leaders were avoiding retweeting their founder\u2019s post, arguing that the party had damaged the country repeatedly, citing the events of May 9 and November 26. He said PTI had been \u201cintroduced\u201d in 2013 and \u201cimposed\u201d on the country in 2018.
\nKhan claimed that no one in K-P was willing to contest on the \u201cbat\u201d symbol. Responding to questions on governor\u2019s rule, he said democratic forces did not favour such actions. \u201cIf we had wanted to impose governor\u2019s rule, we would have done so after the November 26 incident,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
