PTI will not form alliance with PML-N, PPP: Khan

Khan said talks with India was a good step but his party wouldn't tolera­te a compro­mise on the Kashmi­r issue.

LAHORE: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan has said that he will not form an alliance with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) or the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N).

Talking to reporters outside PTI’s office, Khan further said that he would prefer sitting on opposition benches, instead.

Speaking on the talks with India, Khan said that it was a good step but his party wouldn't tolerate a compromise on the Kashmir issue.

Lashing out at Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, Khan said that the party's tenure was destructive as it was not able to produce even one mega watt of electricity. Instead, he pointed out that they had spent 70 billion rupees out of the 120 billion rupees budget on a 22km long road.

The PTI chairman also refuted the PML-N’s claim that it has approached his party and sought consultation over caretaker set-up.

Earlier, Khan had scrapped its plan to forge an electoral alliance with Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed's Awami Muslim League, following stiff opposition within the PTI.
