Islamabad (Web Desk): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday invited Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan for a dialogue to discuss the ways to take country ahead.
Responding to the points raised by Ali Muhammad Khan on cut motions in the National Assembly, the premier said, “If Imran Khan has problems in jail, so let's sit and talk.”
“Let us sit together to take the country ahead. Let us talk for the betterment of the country. There is no other way forward,” PM Shehbaz said.
He recalled that in the past too, he had invited the political parties to evolve a consensus on a Charter of Economy but that idea was ridiculed just for political point scoring.
The prime minister also recounted his ordeal of facing victimisation and that he was in jail when his mother passed away.
He said that despite being a cancer survivor and with a backbone issue, he used to be taken to courts on the ordinary prison van just to exacerbate the condition, but he never complained.
PM Shehbaz said that other Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders also faced humiliating treatment despite being the under-trial prisoners.
But he said, having faced all the victimization, he would never desire his political adversaries to face a similar situation.
The prime minister emphasised that justice should always prevail.
