Former President Dr Arif Alvi said he tried his best to fix the estranged relationship between the establishment and PTI founder Imran Khan.

“I have tried it in every meeting, some meetings were public while others were not. I had tried my level best, I used all of my years of education […] but I was unsuccessful,” he said while speaking to the media in Karachi.

He said that if his opponents had any complaints regarding his time at the presidential elections, then they should approach courts with their complaints.

“If they want to file a case under Article 6 then they are welcome,” he said, adding that he adhered to the constitution and took decisions according to his knowledge.

“I am not a constitutional expert, I made decisions using the best advice I received,” says Alvi.
