Ikhtiar Wali Khan, Coordinator to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting, has delivered a scathing political statement, asserting that all avenues for political dialogue with the opposition party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), are now closed. He claimed that PTI has ‘fallen into a deep abyss’ by refusing to engage in negotiations.
In his statement, Wali Khan leveled grave accusations against the PTI leadership, suggesting their actions constituted anti-state behaviour. He asserted that activities such as writing letters to the IMF against Pakistan’s national interest and orchestrating destructive incidents like the May 9th violence are not the acts of a true patriot.
He further escalated the rhetoric by claiming that PTI’s entire social media campaign is actively being managed and run from hostile foreign countries, specifically naming India and Israel. Wali Khan concluded his attack by stating that the time has come for the nation to make a stark choice between “Pakistan and the founder of PTI,” highlighting the extreme political polarization currently gripping the country.
His declaration, which also included the claim that PTI’s next desire is the imposition of Governor’s Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, underscores the complete breakdown of trust and the highly charged atmosphere between the ruling political parties and the opposition.
