Hassan stressed that PTI is keen on direct dialogue with entities possessing significant political clout.
“They [real powers] are politically ‘covering’ the dialogue, PTI wants to hold dialogue directly as they have no alternative,” Rauf Hassan said.
Engagement with Maulana Fazlur Rehman:
While PTI rebuffed dialogue offers from PML-N, they disclosed ongoing negotiations with Maulana Fazlur Rehman, indicating a strategic approach towards building alliances within the opposition.
“There is hope that he [Fazlur Rehman] will support PTI in opposition movement,” Hassan said.
Hassan expressed optimism regarding diminishing trust deficits and hinted at potential support from Fazlur Rehman’s Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) in opposition movements.
Role of Arif Alvi:
Highlighting the role of Arif Alvi, PTI’s spokesperson mentioned his assignment as an ‘ambassador-at-large,’ tasked with engaging influential circles in line with the party’s directives.
“Arif Alvi is an ‘ambassador-at-large’ for PTI, following the PTI founder directives,” Hassan stated.
PTI Founder’s Release:
Amidst discussions on political engagements, Hassan asserted the imminent release of PTI’s founder, suggesting a timeline of months if not weeks.
Moreover, PTI expressed dissatisfaction with assurances from former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa, highlighting a perceived contrast between verbal promises and actual outcomes.
Despite assurances of no movement from Bajwa, PTI believes their desired outcomes have materialized
