Imran Khan's Party Reiterates Peaceful Stance
A prominent deputy of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan stated that his leader, who has been convicted, will not confront the military or Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir if he is released. This reflects a change in the tone of the "Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf" (PTI) party, which had previously experienced escalating tensions with military institutions. The deputy clarified that Imran Khan would exercise wisdom and not harm the country's interests if released, indicating possible reconciliation with the army amid ongoing doubts about Khan's own willingness to do so. These remarks come after the Supreme Court ordered Khan to be transferred to a hospital for treatment and allowed him to have family visits via phone, but the government opposed the decision and issued legal criticisms. Imran Khan, 73 years old, who served as Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022, has been in prison since 2023 on corruption charges that he denies. He has endured protests, legal proceedings, arrests, and imprisonments involving both him and his wife.
