PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar has praised the timely actions of security forces for averting a major disaster in the Jaffar Express attack, comparing it to the devastating attack on the APS in Peshawar.
Speaking to media outside court, Gohar stated that the attack could have been as catastrophic as the APS tragedy, but security forces successfully prevented it, Express News reported. He commended the role of the forces in averting a disaster.
Gohar also discussed PTI's efforts to negotiate with the government. He said that PTI had formed a committee on December 4 to initiate talks, and subsequent meetings took place in December and January. PTI made two demands to the government, which were presented in writing after the government asked for them.
However, Gohar claimed that the government failed to act on the opportunities for negotiation.
He also criticised the government's handling of PTI founder Imran Khan's situation, saying that no one from the government has been allowed to meet him for six months.
