Talking to the media in Islamabad, he said it was PTI leaders’ demand that they be allowed to meet former prime minister and the party founder Imran Khan at Adiala Jail. “It would have been better if we had been allowed to meet today. When there were no issues with our first meeting with Imran, why now.”
He said he was hopeful that the PTI-government talks would succeed.
Barrister Gohar also dispelled the impression that a delay in the pronouncement of the verdict in the 190 million pounds case (Al-Qadir Trust case) was the consequence of any deal. “This case is fake. In fact, all cases filed against the PTI founder are part of a political witch-hunt.”
The reason, the PTI chairman went on to say, the decision in the case had not been pronounced as yet was that those in the corridors of power wanted to put pressure on the party. “But they are mistaken that they can browbeat the party in this way,” he added.
