PTI leader Ali Muhammad Khan has hinted at coming to terms with the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa despite an earlier “misunderstanding”.

Speaking on a Geo News programme today, he said: “Maybe we decide something with them in KP. There might have been a misunderstanding with them earlier.”

The PTI-backed independent candidate who won his National Assembly seat from Swat in the 2024 general elections expressed that he appreciated JI’s role in the past.

He also commended JI leader Hafiz Naeem for setting an example by forgoing his seat on accounts of rigging.

“I respect them with all my heart. After PTI I respect them the most because they have internal democracy within their party,” Khan added.
