Qaiser claimed that the entire nation stood with PTI founder Imran Khan, and their efforts were all directed at improving Pakistan’s situation.

Asad Qaiser further emphasised that PTI’s actions were driven by a sense of responsibility toward Pakistan, especially given the current economic challenges facing the country.

He made it clear that the party was not afraid of anyone and had only lowered its demands to benefit the country. The government had promised to arrange a meeting with PTI’s founder Imran Khan, but now, according to Qaiser, various excuses are being made.

He stressed that PTI sought the rule of law in the country, with an independent judiciary, civilian supremacy, and a strong parliament. The party, according to Qaiser, was committed to ensuring that Pakistan was governed according to the will of the people.

Lastly, he pointed out that Imran Khan was not just a leader in Pakistan, but was emerging as a significant global figure. Despite the hardships he was enduring in jail, Imran Khan’s sacrifices were being made for the nation’s future.
