Barrister Gohar Khan, the Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has stated that there is no imminent threat of restrictions being imposed on the party. During an interview on Geo News’ program “Capital Talk,” Barrister Gohar clarified that while there is no current danger of curbs on PTI, such a move would be detrimental to the party if undertaken.
In the interview, PTI’s Chairman emphasized that the imposition of restrictions on PTI would have adverse consequences. However, he expressed confidence that the party is not currently facing such a threat. The statement is notable against the backdrop of ongoing political developments and the evolving dynamics within the political landscape of Pakistan.
Barrister Gohar Khan highlighted that if the party were to face allegations or challenges, it would resort to legal avenues for resolution. He outlined a strategic approach, mentioning that in case of any attempt to target PTI, they would first approach the High Court and, if necessary, proceed to the Supreme Court for redress.
The discussion touched upon the attempts to oust PTI’s founder, with Barrister Gohar Khan indicating that efforts were made to sideline the party’s founder by initiating legal cases against PTI. In response to these challenges, the founder of PTI reportedly advocated for efforts to secure the party symbol (the bat), implying the significance of the electoral symbol for the party’s identity.
The statement underscores the party’s commitment to navigating legal channels to address any issues and challenges that may arise. It also reflects a proactive stance, asserting the party’s readiness to defend its position legally. The mention of approaching higher courts indicates a reliance on the judicial system to uphold the party’s rights and legitimacy.
As the political landscape in Pakistan continues to evolve, the assurance from PTI’s Chairman serves to communicate the party’s confidence in its legal standing while also signaling a readiness to address any potential hurdles that may emerge.
