Imprisoned former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, who blames the military for his ousting, emphasized the importance of maintaining excellent relations with the army. Ahead of the anniversary of his imprisonment, Khan expressed no grudges towards the United States and offered conditional negotiations with the military. Despite his criticisms, Khan stated that his issues were with individuals, not the military as an institution. He called for transparent elections and the dropping of false charges against his supporters for any potential dialogue.
Khan’s imprisonment has contributed to political volatility in Pakistan, leading to an economic crisis and reliance on IMF bailouts. The IMF stresses the importance of political stability to revive Pakistan’s economy. Khan refuses to settle out of court unless his party’s electoral victory is recognized. The military denies backing politically motivated charges against Khan, who seeks dialogue to address Pakistan’s challenges. However, the military has previously rejected talks with him.
