On Friday, party leader Ali Muhammad Khan disclosed that former Prime Minister Imran Khan is poised to retain his Mianwali seat, as conveyed during a significant meeting held at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. The revelation unfolded as Ali recounted the details of the discussion, which also involved the presence of party leader Latif Khosa.
In a post shared on platform X, Ali relayed that during the meeting, Khosa acknowledged that Khan owed his Lahore seat to him. In response, Khan firmly rejected this notion and asserted his intention to return to the assembly representing the Mianwali constituency. This announcement comes amidst Khan’s incarceration in Adiala Jail, where he faces charges related to the cypher case. Despite his confinement, Khan’s influence within the party remains palpable, and decisions regarding key political matters are still being directed by him.
Ali further detailed Khan’s vision for the party, highlighting Khan’s desire to adopt the model of “Fatah Makkah” upon regaining power. Notably, Khan emphasized the party’s commitment to steering clear of political vendettas, signaling a focus on inclusive governance.
In addition to political aspirations, the former prime minister advocated for the establishment of a truth and reconciliation commission, drawing parallels to the notable commission initiated by former South African leader Nelson Mandela. This proposal aligns with Khan’s call for fostering national unity and healing, echoing Mandela’s approach to reconciliation after the apartheid era.
In summary, the meeting at Adiala Jail revealed key decisions and aspirations within the party, showcasing Khan’s determination to retain his political influence and prioritize a harmonious and inclusive political agenda.
