\nABBOTTABAD
\nAdvisor to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information and Public Relations, Barrister Dr. Muhammad Ali Saif, stated that no formal negotiations were underway with the federal government regarding the release of PTI chairman Imran Khan.
\nHe said that during Indian aggression, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) stood united with the Pakistan Army, the nation, and the federal government.
\nHe urged the government not to exhibit political arrogance after this major success.
\nSpeaking at the \u201cMeet the Press\u201d event at the Abbottabad Press Club and earlier at a seminar organized by Hajra Hamza Foundation at Jalal Baba Auditorium on World Thalassemia Day, Dr. Saif said that the cases against Imran Khan are baseless and that he is being subjected to injustice. He emphasized that keeping Imran Khan in jail will not break his spirit and that such actions are only increasing PTI\u2019s popularity.
\nDr. Saif challenged the government to release Imran Khan and face him politically, stating that the federal government has no legal or constitutional authority to make decisions.
\nHe confirmed that some individuals are attempting to mediate a resolution, but warned that political instability in the country threatens both the economy and national security.
\nDuring the Thalassemia seminar, retired Maj Gen \u00ae Abid Latif Khan highlighted the role and efforts of the foundation. At the \u201cMeet the Press\u201d event, President of Abbottabad Press Club Sardar Naveed Alam, General Secretary Raja Munir Khan, and President of Abbottabad Union of Journalists Atif Qayum raised demands for funding for a media colony, issuance of accreditation cards for journalists, medical funds, and inclusion of Abbottabad journalists in informational tours and training workshops.
\nRegarding the media colony for the journalists of Abbottabad, Dr. Saif said that the Chief Minister has been approached and efforts will be made to resolve the matter within the current fiscal year. He also assured support in resolving other issues faced by journalists.
\nDr. Saif described the federal government\u2019s tactics as signs of fear and stated that Imran Khan will not enter into talks for personal gain but is willing to accept any condition for the sake of Pakistan. He criticized the federal government for turning Islamabad into a city of containers in response to PTI\u2019s protest movement and for targeting unarmed workers instead of competing politically.
\nHe also condemned violence against journalists in Punjab and the suppression of dissent. Dr. Saif revealed that Imran Khan would soon announce the next phase of the protest movement and emphasized that internal party differences should not be aired in the media.
\nOn the health front, Dr. Saif noted that the provincial government has included treatment for thalassemia in the Sehat Card program, and bone marrow transplants will now also be covered at the government\u2019s expense.
\nEarlier, President of Abbottabad Press Club Sardar Naveed Alam presented the PC-1 file for the media colony to the provincial advisor and reiterated the demand for special funding. Commemorative shields were presented to Barrister Dr. Muhammad Ali Saif and officers of the Information Department by the Abbottabad Press Club and Abbottabad Union of Journalists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
