PESHAWAR: Advisor to the Chief Minister on Information and Public Relations Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif on Thursday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan had not assigned any new task to anyone regarding talks with the establishment.

In a statement, he said that the media outlets were broadcasting news about negotiations with the establishment under the guise of anonymous sources.

Barrister urged the media to avoid publishing unverified reports. He further shared that discussions during a recent meeting revolved around governance matters, terrorism, and Afghanistan. According to him, Imran Khan directed the chief minister to focus on governance issues, while he himself was tasked with handling matters related to terrorism and Afghanistan.

“Imran Khan has categorically stated that he will not engage in any negotiations with the establishment or any other entity for his release or personal gain,” he added.

Barrister Saif reaffirmed that his top priority was the economic development and political stability of the country.

He said that, according to Imran Khan, economic progress was impossible without political stability. He said the PTI chairman emphasised that political stability required the recognition of PTI as a legitimate political force and sought an end to attempts to sideline it. “Imran Khan reiterated that PTI is a political reality that must be acknowledged,” Barrister Saif went on to add.
