Unsuccessful attempt at alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami, talk to Zardari, can Imran still make some big changes?

Jamaat-e-Islami has rejected PTI’s proposal to form a coalition government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, saying that PTI changed its stand at the last moment. In a post on the social media platform, he said JI has expressed its displeasure over the election results but welcomed the PTI-backed MNAs who won through the public mandate. Baloch said that JI has extended its unconditional cooperation with these MNAs in the context of party and constitutional and parliamentary security.

The JI leader said that PTI welcomed it but at the last stage gave the message that they only want an alliance for government in KP. Baloch said JI has decided that an alliance with PTI at the national level would be in the national interest, but if PTI changes its position, they can settle their matters with whomever they want in KP.

PPP Information Secretary Faisal Karim Kundi has rejected PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat’s claims that Asif Ali Zardari was trying to reach out to PTI. Earlier today, Marwat said that Zardari was trying to contact PTI through “middlemen”.

However, in an interview with Geo News, Kundi rejected these claims and said that if this is the official stand of PTI then a serious person should come forward and talk about it.

The PPP leader said that now PTI is realizing that there is no way to form the government at the Centre, hence it is making things. He said that if we had approached PTI, we would have done it through the appropriate forum.
