PTI united in calling for release of its founder: Fawad Chaudhry

LAHORE: Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry said that the entire PTI wants the release of the party’s founding chairman, Imran Khan, ARY News reported.

Fawad Chaudhry took to X to share details of his meeting with party Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi, along with former Governor of Sindh Imran Ismail and ex-MNA Mehmood Moulvi, at the Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute (PKLI) in Lahore.

The ex-federal minister informed that they not only met with Shah Mahmood Qureshi but also held meetings with PTI leaders in Kot Lakhpat Jail.

“Those who want Imran Khan to remain in jail do not want the release of the party founding chairman, and they are creating a sour environment,” he said.

Criticizing such PTI leaders, Fawad said these leaders are making the environment difficult and complicated because they want their own politics to continue to shine.

شاہ محمود قریشی کئ دنوں سے ہسپتال میں علیل ہیں ان سے ہسپتال ملنے ان کے حلقے کے لوگ اور فیملی جاتی ہے اگر تحریک انصاف کی لیڈرشپ ان کا پتہ کرنے بھی نہیں جا سکتی تو یہ کہنا کہ ہم ان کی عیادت کرنے بھی نہ جائیں عجیب منطق ہے، ہم نے صرف شاہ محمود قریشی سے نہیں کوٹ لکھپت جیل میں بھی…

He declared the stance of these party leaders—who suggest avoiding former leaders’ meeting with Shah Mahmood Qureshi—as “odd logic.”

He added that Shah Mahmood Qureshi has been ill for a few days, and the people of his constituency and family members visit him in the hospital.

Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders on Friday today called on PTI Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi.

Ex-federal minister Fawad Chaudhry, former governor of Sindh Imran Ismail, and ex-MNA Mehmood Moulvi held a meeting with Shah Mahmood Qureshi at the Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute (PKLI), where the PTI Vice-Chairman has been brought for treatment.

The meeting focused on the country’s current political situation, with the leaders also exchanging views on political matters concerning Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).

The meeting is considered an important development regarding the current situation of the country.

Former PTI leaders from Karachi, including Imran Ismail, had reportedly been in Lahore for the last two days. It is stated that these former PTI leaders consistently keep in touch with each other.
