Nawaz Sharif is ready for grand dialogue with PTI founder.

Imran Khan’s Stance from Adiala Jail:
Meanwhile, Imran Khan, currently incarcerated in Adiala Jail, has stood firm on his stance against striking any deal for his release.
Speaking to journalists, Khan reiterated his readiness for talks while maintaining his opposition to deals, particularly those reminiscent of individuals seeking to evade legal proceedings, such as Zardari and Sharif.
Meanwhile, Khan’s PTI has expressed willingness to engage in dialogue with adversaries, excluding only certain political parties, namely PML-N, PPP, and MQM-P.
Despite court orders, the Adiala jail authorities, in contempt of court, have repeatedly refused medical care for illegally incarcerated Imran Khan.
