Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: According to The Express Tribune, Ali Amin Gandapur, the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, said on Wednesday that Imran Khan, the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has shown a desire to engage in talks for the nation’s advancement.

Gandapur told reporters in Peshawar, “Pakistan is being harmed by those who are making this an ego problem. We have to put the good of the country ahead of our interests.

He went on to say, “Imran Khan has agreed to negotiations and has clearly said he is ready to talk for the betterment of Pakistan.”

Gandapur spoke about the legal actions underway to secure the release of Imran Khan, the founder of the PTI. He said, “Petitions are underway for Imran Khan’s release.”

“I have a court order that permits me to meet with the chief executive of a province once a week.” These consultation meetings are essential, particularly as the provincial budget draws near,” he said.

He emphasized how crucial Khan’s participation is to provincial administration. According to him, Imran Khan leads the party that controls the province, and the policies that the provincial administration enacts must represent his vision. He continued, “If I am not allowed to meet him, how can I implement that vision?.

Ali Amin Gandapur attributed Pakistan’s instability to the country’s present federal government. He said, “Pakistan is going through a phase of serious instability, and the root cause lies with those currently in power.”

To resolve long-standing, divisive problems and find a mutually agreeable solution to Pakistan’s political and economic crises, the government and opposition began negotiating in December of last year. However, according to The Express Tribune, the process came to an abrupt end after three rounds of negotiations.

Presenting a charter of demands in the third session, PTI described the recommendations as a “prerequisite to wider negotiations” on other issues. Imran Khan called off the negotiations after seven days, claiming that the government was unable to fulfill the party’s request for a judicial committee to be established in a week.

The Express Tribune reported that PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali hinted at the recent suspension of negotiations the day after Khan’s declaration. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan then extended an invitation to PTI to reopen negotiations via a parliamentary committee. The PTI’s negotiating committee was finally disbanded and its members were directed to function as a coordination group for the creation of a grand opposition coalition after Imran Khan rejected his offer.
