ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has claimed there was a rumour that PTI leaders Pervez Khattak and Asad Qaiser had contacted the establishment for a “green signal” regarding their political future.
“When the green signal was received, a press conference was held,” the security czar told journalist Shahzad Iqbal on a Geo news programme, referring to Khattak’s press conference on Thursday. However, he added that there were no witnesses to the alleged talks held with the establishment.
Former PPP senator Farhatullah Babar has said the “making and breaking of political parties and changing loyalties by politicians is at the root of political instability” in the country.
He said that if such processes were voluntary and driven internally then the instability could be temporary and manageable but “if engineered externally and driven angrily, the instability may no longer be temporary.”
