PTI Says Talks With Government Have Stalled as Access to Imran Khan Remains Restricted

PTI sets restored family visits, a hospital transfer if needed, an end to sentencing as conditions for opening meaningful talks.

Overview

  • PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan says there are no substantive negotiations with the federal government despite the prime minister’s public offer to talk.
  • The party has authorised opposition leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai to represent it in dialogue but he has not produced any negotiated outcome.
  • PTI alleges Imran Khan has been denied family meetings for roughly 36 weeks and demands restoration of visit schedules and hospital transfer if his care requires it.
  • Prison authorities allowed a limited visit to Bushra Bibi by some family members, while checkpoints and stop-and-searches near Adiala Jail have blocked other visitors and sparked sit-ins.
  • PTI says ongoing convictions and sentencing of its members undermine trust in talks, it rejects rumours of a KP chief minister change, and it has not yet announced its final position on the AJK elections.
