Former Pak PM Imran Khan says ‘pointless’ to talk to government, wants to negotiate with military

Pakistan’s jailed former prime minister Imran Khan on Saturday said he wants to negotiate only with the military establishment, adding that it is pointless to hold talks with the “puppet” PML-N government.

Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has been in jail since August 2023 and facing multiple cases which were launched after his government was toppled in April 2022.

“Engaging in any talks with the puppet Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government is pointless. This illegitimate Form-47 installed government has already wasted two months. Its only objective is to cling to false authority. It holds no real power,” Khan posted on X. PTI
