Elahi described the recent meeting with Imran Khan as a positive and welcome development. He said rapidly changing regional circumstances called for an end to the political deadlock within the country, adding that the prevailing situation was in no one’s interest.
He said the process of such meetings should continue in the future. He also described Khosa as a highly experienced and seasoned politician whose political insight was important for the party.
The two leaders also consulted on the party’s future course of action and strategy, the report said. No formal decision was announced after the meeting.
The meeting followed a court-directed meeting between Khosa and Imran Khan. The Islamabad High Court had directed the Adiala Jail administration to allow Khosa and fellow lawyer Salman Safdar to meet Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi, The News reported, after Khosa told the court that repeated requests to meet the PTI founder had gone unanswered.
Imran Khan, the former prime minister, is incarcerated at Adiala Jail, where he is facing appeals against convictions including in the 190 million pound case. The court had sought at least an hour for the meeting, and reports said the interaction continued well beyond that.
The Elahi-Khosa meeting comes at a time of intense political activity in Punjab, with reports of possible changes in the provincial government and debate over proposed constitutional amendments, including the 28th Amendment. PTI leaders have been pressing for access to the party founder as the party considers its next steps.
Elahi, a former Punjab chief minister, has become politically active again after a prolonged silence, according to political observers. The meeting was also reported by Dawn News and Express News, and Pakistan Point carried the same account of the discussion between the two leaders.
Further consultations are expected in the coming days as the party weighs its strategy. The details reported so far are based on the account of the meeting carried by Dunya News and other outlets, and the party has not issued a separate formal statement on what was decided.
