Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has declared that PTI founder Imran Khan has tasked him to hold talks with the establishment, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Talking to the newsmen in Peshawar on Wednesday, Gandapur said “Any talks will be held in the open. There will be no secret talks.”
PTI founder Imran Khan had this week named three party leaders – Gandapur, Omar Ayub and Shibli Faraz – for holding talks with the powers that be.
Gandapur confirmed that Imran Khan had tasked him and others with holding talks. “We are ready for talks with the establishment,” he added.
Asked how long he thinks it will take to win freedom for Imran Khan, Gandapur said, “Khan Sahab has given the task now. He has named the people. When it happens it will come before everyone as nothing will happen in secret.”
Gandapur also commented on the possibility of PTI reaching out to JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, saying it was heartening to see Fazlur Rehman speaking the truth and if he had come to the right path the PTI would welcome it.
Gandapur said PTI’s mandate was stolen but still he was ready to open any constituency for a vote recount.
The KP chief minister said he is committed to win over province’s rights from the Centre.
