Rawalpindi – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Barrister Gowhar has said that the founder PTI has strictly instructed party leaders not to make statements against each other, and also suggested working on a common agenda for unity with opposition parties.
Talking to the media after meeting the founder PTI in Adiala Jail, Barrister Gohar said that a five-member lawyers delegation met him which included Barristers Salman Safdar, Faisal Chaudhry, Ali Imran and Rai Salman. However, PTI’s co-founder Alima Khan has not been allowed to meet so far.
Barrister Gauhar said that the founder of PTI made it clear that he did not give anyone the authority to negotiate or deal, nor did he allow any kind of political contact for himself.
He added that the founder of PTI expressed concern over Afghan refugees and issues related to Afghanistan, and strictly instructed party leaders to refrain from rhetoric among themselves.
According to Chairman PTI, the founder stressed on the progress towards opposition unity and said that all parties will have to unite to protect the constitution and democracy.
Barrister Gauhar also made it clear that the opportunity to meet was limited, while despite the court’s orders, the family of the founder PTI is not being allowed to meet continuously, on which a contempt petition will be filed.
He said that according to the orders of the Islamabad High Court, two meetings should be held in a week, but despite this, it is regrettable that the sisters of the founder PTI were not allowed to meet.
