Former prime minister Imran Khan has said that elections were not the PTI’s need, but the country’s need.

“We have made so many efforts to initiate dialogue only for elections. But they are scared of the polls. We made our team for negotiations, but they put our leaders behind bars.

“This means that it is pre-planned so that dialogue doesn’t bear fruit,” he said. “The people who are sitting in power just want to take out Imran Khan, they don’t care about anything else.”
