Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Asad Qaiser has said that the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Maryam Nawaz and Khawaja Asif’s hard-hitting statements are aimed at sabotaging negotiation process between the government and the Imran Khan’s opposition party.
In a video statement posted on his official X handle on Saturday, the former NA speaker said Punjab Chief Minister Maryam and Defence Minister Asif were trying their best to make the negotiation process unsuccessful.
He said jailed PTI founder was being blamed for attempting to derail the talks through his critical X statements.
“We are an oppressed party. We were persecuted..bullets were fired on our people,” he said lamenting that the embattled party was being blamed for attempting to harm talks despite being at the receiving end of the “high-handedness”.
Qaiser said that the government had promised to arrange a meeting with the PTI founder, however, it was making different excuses.
Vowing that the former ruling party would stand firmly on its stance, the former National Assembly speaker said that the PTI wants rule of Constitution, independent judiciary, civil supremacy and a strong parliament in the country.
