Raoof Hasan ‘hoped and prayed’ for end to deadlock between PTI and Army

A day after former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called for an across-the-board dialogue to end the political crisis in the country, PTI’s spokesperson Raoof Hasan stated he “hoped and prayed” that the deadlock between the military and the PTI would end.

Raoof Hasan, who was recently released from jail in a cybercrime case, also stated to Voice of America that his party was interested in talking to the powers that be for the state’s interests.

“PTI has done whatever it could to improve ties with the army,” he said, emphasising that any supposed talks would be within the Constitution’s ambit.

“Instability will end once all institutions start working within the limits of the Constitution,” he added.

Hasan also alleged that the ruling government was “desperate” to extend the tenure of Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa.
