No deal or relief yet extended to Imran or PTI: Report

Despite rumours circulating in political circles, no deal or concession has yet been extended to former prime minister Imran Khan or his Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI), said a report.

Far from being recipients of an offer, it is the PTI leadership itself that is quietly working behind the scenes, seeking to open a backchannel dialogue with both the government and establishment.

While public statements remain firm and defiant, no formal dialogue has begun — largely because Imran Khan and his close allies insist that such a process should remain hidden from the media spotlight. Maintaining secrecy is seen as crucial to avoid backlash from both PTI supporters and its internal critics. However, it has also led to mixed signals from within PTI’s own ranks.
