The PTI has demanded that its founder and ex-premier Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, other party leaders and women workers be released before it agreed to a dialogue with its political rivals.

Speaking to the media in Islamabad, PTI MNA Gohar Khan, when asked about any conditions for holding a dialogue with its political rivals, said that the party would consider it if an official offer was made and seek Imran’s advice on it.

PTI MNA Omar Ayub said, “Firstly, my leader Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, our women who are behind bars, our men [such as] Chaudhry Ejaz who is a Senator … our workers; the cases against them be quashed, they be released and reunited with their families.

“And our stolen mandate of Forms 45 be returned to us. After that, we will think about it. Our stance is crystal clear.”
