‘Imran Khan can come out of jail if he …’, What did Shahbaz’s advisor say on the release of former Pak PM – Shehbaz Sharif Advisor Rana Sanaullah on Release of Former Pak PM Says Imran can come out of jail ntc

Rana Sanaullah, advisor to political affairs of Pakistan’s Prime Minister, has said that if former Pakistan PM and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan apologizes with full honesty for the incidents of May 9, 2023, his release may be possible. On this day, after the arrest of Imran Khan, there were violent demonstrations across the country and military establishments were targeted.

East and current governments have blamed PTI for these riots, although the party has been continuously denying these allegations. During the conversation in the program ‘Jirga’ of Pakistan’s news channel Geo News, Rana Sanaullah said that Imran Khan had pushed the country into political crisis, thinking that he could bring revolution. But, he said in clear terms, ‘There can be victory only by political struggle here, there is no possibility of revolution.’

Is Imran’s release possible?

Citing PTI’s March (24-26 November 2024), he said that the current methods of Imran Khan cannot get any success. When asked if Imran Khan’s release is possible, if he apologizes to the violence of May 9, he said, ‘I think if he apologizes, the conversation can move forward or we can talk.’

‘If the court releases then there is no objection’

Earlier, Rana Sanaullah had said that if the court releases Imran Khan, then there will be no objection to the government of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. Significantly, after the talks with Imran’s party PTI, the government failed, the opposition parties are planning to protest against the ruling alliance.

The purpose of this movement is to restore the constitution and rule of law and to ensure the release of political prisoners. Rana Sanaullah’s statements have come at a time when political tension is likely to increase in Pakistan, due to which more polarization can be seen in the country.
