Political observers are watching this statement on behalf of the former foreign minister with great interest, the former foreign minister does not talk to the media like Imran Khan.
It is worth noting here that before he was put behind bars, Shah Mehmood Qureshi was Imran Khan’s heir apparent in the PTI organizational structure, he is also one of the most connected political players in the party and People’s Party. He has a lot of insight into the party as it is a party with which he has had a long and close association in the past.
Rumors of a possible tie-up between the PPP and the PTI have been circling in recent months, gaining prominence after the former made decisions such as not involving them in decision-making in Punjab, or banning the PTI. He had expressed his concerns against the ruling Muslim League (N) for consulting him on important decisions.
Meanwhile, speaking to reporters at Adiala Jail after hearing the £190 million corruption case against him, PTI founder Imran Khan once again predicted that the government’s time is likely to run out in two months.
