Imran Khan Rules Out Dialogue With ‘Puppet’ PML-N Govt, Demands Negotiations With Pak Army

<p>Lahore, May 24 (PTI) Pakistan's jailed former prime minister <a title="Imran Khan" href="https://ift.tt/IePpZ7q" data-type="interlinkingkeywords">Imran Khan</a> on Saturday said he wants to negotiate only with the military establishment, adding that it is pointless to hold talks with the &ldquo;puppet&rdquo; PML-N government.</p> <p>Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has been in jail since August 2023 and facing multiple cases which were launched after his government was toppled in April 2022.</p> <p>"Engaging in any talks with the puppet Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government is pointless. This illegitimate Form-47 installed government has already wasted two months. Its only objective is to cling to false authority. It holds no real power," Khan posted on X.</p> <p>"Talks will only be held with those who actually hold power (military establishment) , and only in the national interest. I do not fear hardship as my resolve remains strong," Khan added.</p> <p>Khan claimed that the baseless political cases against him and other PTI members, forced abductions, and coerced press conferences are designed to make members publicly disassociate from the party.</p> <p>&ldquo;All prove that the rule of law has been entirely dismantled. What we now have is the law of the jungle," he added.</p> <p>Khan, currently imprisoned at the high-security Adiala Jail, said that the baseless trials related to the events of May 9, 2023 have resumed once again.</p> <p>"May 9th was a false flag operation. No CCTV footage has been presented to this day, and the past two years have made it abundantly clear that its sole objective was to crush PTI.</p> <p>&ldquo;The truth will be evident to all if the CCTV footage of that day is made public," added Khan.</p> <p>The PTI supremo denied that any one from the military or else approached him to cut a deal. "No one has approached me for any negotiations. News claiming otherwise is entirely false," he declared.</p> <p>Khan also claimed that he is not allowed to speak to his children, meetings with his family are arbitrarily delayed for days and &ldquo;even my personal physician is not permitted to see me. Despite this, I will continue to stand firm for the sake of my nation," he said.&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>(This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.
