Twenty-seven-years after its founding, former PM Imran Khan‘s PTI is at the crossroads, facing a likely ban by the coalition government following the unprecedented attack on military installations by his supporters earlier this month. The ruling parties backed by the military are in favour of banning PTI for “promoting extremism and violence”.
Amid the crackdown on PTI, over 60 of its members have announced their resignations from party posts, citing attacks on military installations. Meanwhile, the governing parties ha rejected Imran’s offer for a dialogue, saying talks were held with politicians, not terrorists, a media report said on Sunday. The development came as the former PM constituted a seven-member team to hold talks with the government – for developing consensus on a date for polls – amid a crackdown on his party.
