PTI Will Play Every Card for Imran Khan’s Release, Says Senator Mushaal Yousafzai
ISLAMABAD:Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and Senator Mushaal Yousafzai has said the party will use every possible option to secure the release of its founder, Imran Khan, adding that gaining access to him remains the party’s top priority.
In an exclusive interview with *WE News*, Yousafzai claimed that she was standing in the way of those seeking a “minus-one” formula. She alleged that certain individuals wanted to prevent party leaders from meeting Imran Khan for their personal interests, and said she was raising her voice against them.
She said PTI had no internal division and that all party members were currently united around one demand: access to Imran Khan so he could provide the party with its future political strategy.
### Sohail Afridi’s Whereabouts a Priority
Commenting on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, Yousafzai said he was currently missing.
She said whether his protest had succeeded or failed could be discussed later, adding that the immediate priority was to ensure his recovery. She expressed hope for his safety wherever he might be.
The senator also said negotiations were never impossible. However, she warned that if governor’s rule was imposed in Sindh, the party would not remain a silent spectator.
### Calls for Salman Akram Raja to Fulfil Responsibility
Yousafzai said that, according to Imran Khan’s latest post on social media, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja was responsible for presenting the party’s political strategy.
She said Raja should resign if he was unable to fulfil that responsibility.
Referring to Imran Khan’s reported instructions, she said those unable to carry the burden of the movement should relinquish their positions.
The senator reiterated that the party’s immediate focus was securing access to Imran Khan and obtaining his guidance on the future course of action.
She added that Imran Khan’s release was a greater priority for the party than even the restoration of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government.
