Lahore( The COW News Digital)Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has announced that PTI founder Imran Khan is ready to engage in negotiations with key decision-makers for the sake of Pakistan, declaring the launch of a 90-day nationwide political movement.
Addressing a press conference in Lahore, Gandapur said the party’s movement—launched under Khan’s instructions—will peak by August 5, after which a decisive course of action will be announced. “Either we will settle the political future of Pakistan, or we will decide whether to remain in politics,” he declared.
Gandapur claimed that the political environment has become increasingly oppressive since the May 9 incidents, with PTI leaders and supporters subjected to widespread arrests, violence, and suppression of peaceful protests. He accused the state institutions of deviating from their constitutional duties and engaging in political engineering.
Taking direct aim at JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Gandapur labeled him a “hypocrite” and accused him of still being in covert alliance with the establishment. “He admitted himself that he toppled our government on General Bajwa’s instructions,” Gandapur added, throwing down an electoral challenge and threatening to leave politics if Fazl wins against his brother in any election.
The Chief Minister said the PTI is united despite internal differences, and any such narrative is a deliberate creation of “power brokers.” He reiterated Imran Khan’s position that he will only negotiate with those who hold actual power and mandate.
Gandapur also revealed that the KP government has over Rs. 190 billion in its accounts and dismissed allegations of financial mismanagement. “We’ve earned this province’s revenue. Don’t twist our statements into false narratives,” he added.
PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja also addressed the press, stating that the narrative of divisions within PTI is part of a conspiracy by the country’s elite. “All factions are united under Khan’s leadership for his release and for the future of Pakistan’s democracy,” he said.
The party aims to mobilize people from every street and city, with plans to announce the next steps in August. PTI leaders called for open dialogue, justice, and institutional accountability, warning that the political culture of suppression will damage all parties in the long run.
