Ali Amin Gandapur Meets Imran Khan in Jail, Discusses Possible Withdrawal of Islamabad March

Islamabad:In a significant development, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has met Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan twice in prison, delivering important messages from influential circles and playing a key role in facilitating discussions between PTI and the federal government. Sources suggest that the chances of PTI calling off its planned march to Islamabad on November 24 have increased following these meetings.

According to well-informed sources, Ali Amin Gandapur had a private, lengthy meeting with Imran Khan in Adiala Jail on the night of November 20, where he conveyed messages from powerful figures. After the meeting, Gandapur also relayed Imran Khan’s stance to the key political players.

Further reports reveal that Gandapur has also held talks with Federal Minister for Interior, Mohsin Naqvi, and some progress was made during these negotiations. Sources suggest that PTI is demanding the release of Imran Khan as a condition for further discussions. However, it remains unclear what was specifically discussed regarding this demand.

In a related development, Imran Khan’s wife and former First Lady, Bushra Bibi, returned to Peshawar after being out of the city for a while. Reports indicate that she has also had significant meetings during her time away.

A senior PTI leader shared with *We News* that it seems increasingly likely that the party will withdraw its call for the Islamabad march. The leader noted that preparations for the march have slowed down in recent days, and there is now less attention being paid to the event. The PTI’s top leadership, according to sources, is not in favor of the march, though no final decision has been made yet. All eyes are now on Ali Amin Gandapur, as he continues his efforts to negotiate a peaceful resolution.

**KP Government Spokesman Confirms Negotiations**

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government spokesman, Barrister Saif, confirmed that talks between the federal government and PTI are ongoing. PTI is reportedly open to negotiations, provided they are linked to the release of Imran Khan. He added that Imran Khan has given permission for Barrister Gohar and Ali Amin Gandapur to engage in these talks.

PTI sources revealed that Ali Amin Gandapur has been busy in Islamabad for the past two days and is expected to meet Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi today. A well-informed source mentioned that Gandapur is actively working to persuade Imran Khan to consider withdrawing the march, though he emphasized that if the talks fail, PTI could resort to holding a sit-in at D-Chowk in Islamabad.

The situation remains fluid, and it appears that both sides are keen to find a resolution before the proposed march date, with PTI’s leadership weighing the options carefully. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the planned Islamabad march will go ahead or be called off.
