Imran Khan
Despite awaiting discussions with key stakeholders while imprisoned, Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has projected that the current government led by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will be out of power within the next two months.
Khan made these remarks during an informal chat with journalists in a makeshift courtroom setup at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail on Thursday.
Khan expressed his belief that the government is plunging into a deepening crisis, describing the current rulers as being out of touch with reality.
He confidently predicted from his prison cell that the government has only two months remaining in power, suggesting that while he has ample time to wait, the incumbent rulers are running out of theirs.
Addressing a previous statement regarding a conditional apology for the May 9 riots, Khan clarified that there was a misunderstanding about his stance.
He emphasized that he never sought an unconditional apology but would be willing to apologize if it was proven that PTI activists were involved in the violent protests that erupted following his arrest from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) last year on corruption charges. Khan reiterated that his party’s sole aim is to seek justice for the events of May 9.
Khan elaborated on his offer to initiate dialogue, stating that it was made purely for the benefit of the country. He asserted that no matter how many cases are filed against him, he would not enter into any deal.
According to him, deals are typically sought by those who have committed wrongdoings, and he has made it clear that he will not compromise on principles.
Additionally, Khan mentioned that he plans to present a witness in the Al-Qadir Trust case—also known as the £190 million National Crime Agency (NCA) scandal, which reportedly caused a significant loss to the national exchequer.
However, he refrained from revealing the witness’s identity due to concerns about potential abduction.
Finally, Khan voiced his party’s stance on the upcoming elections, stating that PTI would not accept the results if they were conducted under the supervision of the current government.
This position underscores PTI’s broader concerns about the integrity of the electoral process under the existing administration.
