PTI demands Imran Khan's release before government talks begin

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has stated that talks with the government will only start after the release of its founder, Imran Khan. Khan recently secured bail in one case but remains imprisoned due to other pending charges. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur emphasized that PTI will continue its protests until their demands are met. He indicated that the party's next steps depend on the government's willingness to negotiate. PTI spokesperson Sheikh Waqas Akram dismissed the cases against Khan as baseless and confirmed that the planned protest on November 24 will proceed as scheduled, regardless of any negotiations.
