The PTI has decided to form a coalition in Centre and Punjab with the Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM) as per the instructions of party founder Imran Khan, the party\u2019s Central Information Secretary Raoof Hasan announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Hasan relayed decisions that Imran, who is incarcerated in Adiala Jail over a variety of cases, made regarding the party\u2019s course of action for government formation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going towards the formation of a government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. We are also going to double our efforts for a government in the Centre and we will also look at what to do about the Punjab government.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe (Imran) has approved [of a coalition] with two parties. We will form a coalition with the MWM in the Centre and Punjab and a coalition with the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) in KP for the reserved seats. These are his decisions and we will implement them, we have already begun work on them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hasan said the PTI founder also sanctioned the name of the party\u2019s KP president Ali Amin Gandapur to make the government in the province where the party has a three-fourth majority.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has also said that we have to continue our political struggle. He has singled out three parties \u2014 PML-N, Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan and PPP \u2014 but apart from them he has given me the mandate to initiate contact with all other political parties and sit down with them so we give birth to a coalition partnership which will struggle for democratic authority, not just authority.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hasan said that Amir Dogar was also reappointed as the party\u2019s chief whip in the National Assembly (NA).<\/p>\n
He said Imran also issued instructions for intra-party elections to be held as soon as possible, adding that he would try to carry out the task as soon as possible since he was responsible for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs per our estimates, around 180 seats were PTI\u2019s in the NA but whatever has come after reducing them is before you. The first precondition according to him (Imran) is that a government be allowed to form according to the mandate the nation has given and be allowed to continue because only this would make it possible to increase confidence and investment of overseas Pakistanis.\u201d<\/p>\n
The spokesperson claimed that around 65 seats were \u201cstolen\u201d from the party, demanding that they should be returned promptly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe (Imran) said that the power wielders at this time should think and take heed about what they\u2019re doing. His message was that whoever has won the election has the right to form the government and should be given the right to do so,\u201d Hasan added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, JI Central Information Secretary Qaisar Sharif told Geo News<\/em> that the two parties held talks soon after the elections and the JI had given an unconditional \u201cpositive response\u201d to the PTI of \u201cproviding protection\u201d to its independent candidates.<\/p>\n The JI representative said the PTI\u2019s proposal for a coalition government in KP was discussed in a meeting in Islamabad today, adding that the JI did not give a final answer on the matter as of yet. However, he said, the JI will hold consultations and give a reply to the PTI.<\/p>\n MWM chief Allama Raja Nasir Abbas welcomed his party\u2019s alliance with the PTI, saying that his party stood by Imran since the events of \u2018regime change\u2019 in April 2022 and would continue to do so \u201ctill the last drop of our blood\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want unity in Pakistan and desires to see this country progress,\u201d Allama Abbas told Geo News<\/em>.<\/p>\n Abbas said his party had no greed or made any demands from the PTI. \u201cWe have a principled stand that what happened [with the PTI] was wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n The MWM chief regretted laws were enacted recently to suppress the PTI, adding that promoting certain political parties through an agenda should not happen in a democratic culture.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope sanity prevails now. We have told Imran that we are with him on his principles until the last drop of our blood,\u201d he told the TV channel.<\/p>\n He separately said in a post on X that the MWM was Imran\u2019s own party and \u201che can decide whatever he wants regarding this party, we will accept it unconditionally and willingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The PTI has decided to form a coalition in Centre and Punjab with the Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM) as per the instructions of party founder Imran Khan, the party\u2019s Central Information Secretary Raoof Hasan announced on Tuesday.
