Imran Khan Rules Out Talks with Pakistan Government but Open to Dialogue with Military Establishment

News 18  

Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan has ruled out talks with the Shehbaz Sharif-led federal government but appeared eager to initiate a dialogue with the military establishment, calling them the “real” decision-makers in the country. The PTI chief also accused former Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa of “backstabbing” him and said that he could have sacked Bajwa on at least three different occasions but exercised restraint, the report said. In a military-backed crackdown on the PTI over the May 9 violence following Khan’s arrest by paramilitary Rangers in Islamabad in a corruption case, over 100 main party leaders and former lawmakers have so far defected and joined the Istekham Pakistan Party, led by another PTI deserter, Jahangir Khan Tareen. Khan expressed apprehensions about his military trial in connection with the violence and said that the authorities were turning “approvers to charge him” under the Army Act, the report said.
