LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday asserted that he was ready to constitute a committee for talks and would step back if the panel is convinced on ‘two conditions’, ARY News reported.

“I am forming a committee for dialogues tomorrow. It will talk about two things — if the country can function better without me, I will leave politics. Second, how is it beneficial for the country if elections are held in October,” the former premier said while addressing the party workers and supporters.

Imran Khan said that convince them on these two things, and he was ready to retreat for the sake of the country. “I am forming a committee and I will announce this tomorrow,” he announced.

The statement came after Pakistan Terheek-e-Insaf (PTI) suffered major blows as prominent leaders – Fawad Chaudhry, Shireen Mazari and Fayyaz ul Chohan – announced to quit party.

Earlier in the day, Fawad Chaudhry announced that he was resigning from the PTI position and parting ways with chairman Imran Khan.

Taking to Twitter, the former federal minister referred to his earlier statement wherein he “unequivocally condemned May 9 incidents”, saying that he has decided to take a break from politics.

“Therefore, I have resigned from party position and parting ways from Imran Khan,” Fawad Chaudhry announced in a tweet.

It is pertinent to mention here that several PTI lawmakers and members have parted their ways with the party following the May 9 violence, wherein military installations including General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi and Corps Commander House Lahore were attacked after the arrest of party chairman Imran Khan.
