Former Opposition Leader Raja Riaz Alleges Imran Khan’s Potential Recognition Of Israel
Meanwhile, in Lahore on Sunday, former opposition leader Raja Riaz asserted that if Imran Khan were in power, he would have recognized Israel.
Expressing relief over the conclusion of Khan’s government, Riaz predicted a sweeping victory for the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) in Punjab during the upcoming elections.
He emphasized that the PMLN has limited capacity to accommodate individuals from other parties and emphasized the party’s independence from forming alliances.
Despite this, Riaz mentioned ongoing efforts for seat adjustments in the province. Doubting the Istehkam-e-Pakistan party’s potential impact in Punjab, he clarified its lack of alliance with the PMLN.
Raja Riaz, formerly associated with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, joined the PMLN in September 2023, shortly after the dissolution of the Pakistan Democratic Movement government. Overall, Raja Riaz suggests Imran Khan, in power, might have leaned towards the recognition of Israel, expressing relief at Khan’s government’s end.
