PTI Founder Imran Khan May Be Released From Jail On June 27: Sanaullah

Advisor to the prime minister on political affairs Rana Sanaullah stated on Tuesday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan might be freed from jail on June 27. 

However, Sanaullah, speaking to a private TV channel, stated that the government will make every effort to keep Khan incarcerated, citing fears over his plans to cause havoc.

Despite the prospective release, he guaranteed that there would be no big disturbance. 

 "Imran Khan's sole message is anarchy and disorder," Sanaullah said, adding that in a democratic environment, discussion is the only option. However, he underlined that talks can only take place if Khan abandons his current posture of fostering unrest.

Sanaullah reaffirmed that the government's response would be severe if Khan continued to seek unrest, but expressed a willingness to talk if the circumstances permitted. "Our attitudes will reflect his actions." "We are ready to talk whenever there is an opportunity," he stated. 

The advisor also criticized Khan for not believing in democratic values, saying that no one has the authority to cause harm to the country. "We will ensure that Imran Khan remains imprisoned within the bounds of the law," he added. 

When asked about parliamentary seats, Sanaullah stated that parties with specified seat allocations are constitutionally entitled to them. He proposed that modifications to the Election Act be considered if required.

He denied that Nawaz Sharif and former Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa had met during the no-confidence motion, adding that Muhammad Zubair's statements were speculative and incorrect. 

He confessed that Shehbaz Sharif visited General Bajwa when the latter was the head of an institution, stating that such meetings are regular since members of the establishment are fundamental to the country.
