PTI Conveys Message in ‘Ongoing’ Talks at Federal Level, Says Gohar
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has said that contacts with relevant people at the federal level are ongoing amid growing political tensions and recent detentions involving PTI leaders and members.
Speaking to reporters in Peshawar on September 21, Gohar said the contacts had been continuing since the previous evening. He added that PTI had conveyed its concerns and message regarding the recent developments to the relevant authorities.
PTI Raises Concerns Over Recent Detentions
According to Gohar, the party has asked the relevant authorities to avoid steps that could further increase tensions. He described the situation as concerning and called for efforts to prevent further escalation.
The PTI chairman's comments come as the party prepares for a planned nationwide protest and march towards Islamabad on September 27. PTI has linked the planned mobilisation to demands including the release of its founder Imran Khan and what it describes as the supremacy of the Constitution.
Federal-Level Contacts Continue
Gohar did not publicly identify all the people involved in the federal-level contacts or provide details of any specific agreement. His remarks indicate that communication is continuing while political tensions remain high.
The PTI chairman also stressed the importance of reducing tensions rather than allowing the situation to deteriorate further. Similar calls for political dialogue have been made by Gohar in recent weeks, although the status and nature of contacts have changed over time.
September 27 Protest Plans
The latest developments come ahead of PTI's announced September 27 protest and march towards Islamabad. The party has continued preparations for the mobilisation, while government officials have also spoken publicly about measures to deal with the planned demonstration.
The situation could therefore remain politically significant in the coming days, particularly if communication between the two sides continues alongside preparations for the protest.
For now, Gohar's latest comments indicate that PTI has conveyed its position at the federal level and that contacts remain ongoing. No detailed outcome of these contacts has been publicly announced.
