PTI leader Ali Muhammad Khan has said that jailed leader Imran Khan has told the party members “clearly” about which political parties they can join to salvage “the special and minority seats of the party” in the NA.

He said that the former premier had given the instructions during a meeting he held at the Adiala jail, without specifying who else attended the meeting.

Ali further said Imran had issued directives to save the party’s elected MNAs and MPAs from the “hideous game of buying and selling”.

He added that Imran also “strictly ordered” intra-party elections as soon as possible so that PTI-backed independents can finally have a party again. He reiterated that “joining any party” would be a “temporary arrangement”.
