Imran Khan ready to reduce political tension, directs party to hold talks

Incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan has decided to take a “step back” from his firm position of holding no talks with political powers, directing his party to build contacts with politicians to reduce tension in the country, Geo reported on Friday.
The party’s leadership will hold dialogues with other political parties within and outside the parliament, and PTI will try to improve its relations with the parties in the coalition government.

The former prime minister decided to move back from his rigid stance after interacting with the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP), Qazi Faez Isa during the hearing on Thursday.

During the hearing on the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) law amendments, CJP Isa suggested that Khan go to the Parliament to help resolve Pakistan’s problems “as the country needs to move forward.”

Imran Khan told the court during his appearance via video link that he is facing “political victimization” since his removal from office in April 2022.
