Islamabad : Jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has demanded a meeting with his negotiation team which is negotiating with the Pakistan government. He says that this will make the negotiation process meaningful. 72-year-old Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has also put forward the demands of his party. He said that if the government agrees, he will suspend the civil disobedience movement announced earlier.
Imran Khan has appointed Sahibzada Mohammad Hamid Raza, president of PTI coalition partner Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), as the spokesperson of his party’s negotiation committee. Raza, a member of the National Assembly, is also the chairman of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Human Rights.
Imran Khan made this announcement during a meeting with his team of lawyers in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. Khan wrote on X after that meeting that, the efforts of the party’s negotiation committee are a good thing. To make the negotiation process meaningful, it is important that I meet my designated negotiation team so that I can have a proper understanding of the issues.
Earlier on Monday, the Pakistan government and Imran Khan’s party in their first meeting agreed to continue talks to resolve several contentious issues, including Khan’s release from jail.
Earlier on Monday, the Shahbaz Sharif-led Pakistan government had spoken of forming a negotiation committee to start formal talks with Imran Khan’s PTI. After naming Raza as the spokesperson of the PTI’s dialogue process, Khan has also put forward his party’s demands for the success of talks with the government.
These include the release of all undertrial political prisoners of his party and the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the incidents of May 9, 2023 and November 26 this year.
