Fawad Chaudhry reveals that PML-N leaders were caught off guard by the imposition of the ban on PTI.

He stated that the government will be required to provide justifications for the ban imposed on the political party created by Imran Khan.

“The announcement of banning the PTI has even caught PML-N leaders off guard,” he remarked, emphasising that the progress of the country’s politics is dependent on the presence of the PTI founder.

In response to a query about the political climate in Pakistan, he stated that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz aspired to eliminate the PTI and its founder. Nevertheless, the previous governing party successfully obtained a majority in the election, he stated.

Fawad Chaudhry believes that Imran Khan is crucial for the progress of the country’s politics, as a significant number of Pakistanis support the former prime minister.

Nevertheless, he expressed disapproval of the PTI’s approach, asserting that it has been ineffective in securing Khan’s release from incarceration.

“My critique is not directed towards the leadership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, but rather towards their strategic approach.” The PTI is a major political party; however, the strategy it has chosen to employ is flawed,” he noted.

Fawad Chaudhry asserted that the PTI was deficient in political strategy and solely dependent on lawyers.

The politician stated that the previous governing party should have formed an alliance with parties that oppose the February 8 election.

The political strategy outlines future actions and plans. The PTI should have engaged in discussions with the JUI-F, Jamat-e-Islami, and GDA. Chaudhry emphasised the need to provide an agenda, even if verbal communication is not necessary.

As per the ex-minister, the political party established by Imran Khan should have formed a coalition with JUI-F in order to bring together Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under a unified platform.

“JUI-F and PTI possess the ability to collectively organise and participate in street demonstrations.” Fawad Chaudhry stated that the two parties will have the ability to apply pressure in order to secure the release of Imran Khan from prison.

It is important to note that the former minister previously stated that he remains a member of the PTI.

During his interview on the show “Off the Record,” he asserted that a small group of people seized control of the PTI, and newcomers like Raoof Hassan were elevated to top positions.

“If I had left the party, I would have become a minister today based on Forms 47,” Chaudhry stated.

The former federal minister criticised the present leaders of the PTI, stating that Shibli Faraz failed to effectively manage the party’s business and remained absent from his duties for a period of six months.
