Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Ali Zafar revealed that the party’s founder, Imran Khan, authorised the government’s negotiation team to receive PTI’s demands in writing, without meeting him in person.

Zafar, who is also PTI's parliamentary leader in the Senate, explained that Imran Khan made it clear that his demands were intended for individuals who had been incarcerated without trial or those enduring prolonged detention.

“The founder of PTI is not seeking his own release,” Zafar said. “He has stated that he will win all of his cases in court because the charges against him are baseless.”

Zafar added that Khan had also mentioned that the cases against him had already been dismissed and that he was not asking for anything further for himself.

Regarding meetings between PTI leaders and Khan, Zafar mentioned that while their lawyers continued to meet him, the political party was being denied access. “Our political party would have discussed the written draft, but the government initially insisted that demands be submitted in writing,” he explained.

Zafar pointed out that the matter had been resolved, with Khan consenting to allow the submission of demands in writing without a direct meeting.
