Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah has denied Imran Khan's sister Aleema Khan's claims regarding the house arrest of the PTI founder in Bani Gala.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Sanaullah remarked that no individual had yet come forward to report any personal harm or loss caused during the PTI's protest at D-Chowk in November last year.
"Not a single person filed a complaint in any police station claiming damage or harm from D-Chowk protests," he said, adding that even if no action was taken, complaints should still have been registered.
PTI founder’s release, negotiations
Rana Sanaullah refuted claims that the government is under pressure regarding the release of the PTI founder. "There is no pressure other than his own statements," he stated, noting that statements have not emerged from the quarters that the PTI has pinned hopes on.
He also addressed the PTI founder’s demands for negotiations. “From his statements, it seems they will not provide written demands,” Sanaullah said. He added that the government has included all its allies in the negotiation committee and asked for written demands from the PTI.
Sanaullah remarked that the PTI had asked for a meeting with its founder, yet after meeting him, they said it had not been arranged properly. "Their meeting will be facilitated," he announced.
Aleema's claims
In reference to remarks by Aleema Khan, the adviser pointed out that she claims the PTI founder has no hidden contacts. "If Ali Amin Gandapur is making any claims, they are solely his own. Ali Amin Gandapur has connections everywhere," he stated, emphasizing that no government offers were made to the PTI.
Rana Sanaullah expressed optimism about Pakistan’s economic trajectory, stating that the situation is improving and projecting that the country could emerge as a strong economic power in the near future.
Criticizing PTI, he accused the party of attempting to disrupt political stability. “PTI’s actions are aimed at destabilising the country politically,” he claimed.
