ISLAMABAD (NNI): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar said that the statement of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Advisor Barrister Saif related to Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar was reported out of context.
“We’ll not invite Indian foreign minister in any protest or party meeting,” PTI chairman said. He added that PTI always followed the Pakistan’s stance and policy related to India.
According to Barrister Gohar, D-Chowk isn’t a sacred place where no one can stage a protest.
“The police fired tear gas on our workers contrary to the democratic values,” he said.
The PTI chairman said that he didn’t join the protest at D-Chowk as it was the party policy that MNAs would not join the protesters in the wake of parliament’s upcoming session to avoid the arrests.
Earlier, it was reported that Barrister Saif had extended an invitation to Jaishankar to join their protests. He expressed a desire for the Indian minister to participate in PTI’s protests, suggesting that he attends their protest aiming to restore democracy and constitutional order in Pakistan.
He argued that Jaishankar’s participation would strengthen Pakistan and improve relations between the two countries.
The statement had sparked severe criticism on social media, with users accusing Barrister Saif of openly acting against national interests.
Analysts have called the invitation to India an unexpected move that could exacerbate instability in Pakistan, revealing a troubling agenda behind the protests.
Diplomatic experts argued that inviting an eternal adversary to participate in protests exposed PTI’s ulterior motives. NNI
