Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister of the country Imran Khan has refused to meet ex-PTI leader and former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry in jail, according to ARY News.
Speaking at ARY News’s programme “Off The Record”, PTI spokesperson Raoof Hassan stated that Fawad Chaudhry wanted to meet Khan (71), but he declined to do so.
The PTI spokesperson stressed that no one in the party is afraid of Fawad Chaudhry’s return, asserting that the agenda for the return is significant.
He claimed that PTI party workers are conscious of the reasons behind the dismissals of Ali Zaidi, Imran Ismail, and Fawad Chaudhry from the party, according to ARY News.
Presently, Fawad Chaudhry has no place in the PTI and Khan will decide on the return of those who left the party after his release, Hassan added.
Raoof Hassan described the Shehbaz Sharif-led government as ‘mandate thieves’. The PTI is of the view that there will be no talks with them, he added.
Earlier, ex-PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry had claimed that a small group of people took control and promoted newcomers like Raoof Hassan to top positions in the organisation. During an interview with ARY News, the former minister declared that he remains a part of the PTI.
