Central leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Asad Qaiser, has reiterated the party's firm stance against any "deals" and emphasized their demand for legal rights. Speaking to a private TV channel, Qaiser confirmed that PTI’s leadership, including Imran Khan, remains resolute in their position to stay in Pakistan and fight for justice. “Imran Khan will stay in the country and will not go to London or any other country,” he stated, further asserting that the leadership’s imprisonment in what they consider to be fabricated cases should be addressed on merit. Qaiser dismissed any claims of relief in the case involving Imran Khan’s bail, particularly in the Toshakhana case-II, describing it as a false case. He praised some members of the judiciary, particularly Justice Aurangzeb, for making decisions based on courage and justice, untainted by external pressures.

“If decisions are made according to the constitution and law, the country will move forward,” he added. On the political front, Qaiser revealed that the PTI had been in touch with key figures, including Ali Amin, who was recently in Adiala Jail. Although the specifics of these contacts remain unclear, Qaiser suggested that negotiations might be underway, though he stressed that any such discussions would not undermine PTI’s stance. “Whatever is to be done will progress beyond negotiations, and only Ali Amin can tell who contacted him,” Qaiser said, further confirming that the government was behind these talks. As the November 24 protest looms, Qaiser stated that PTI’s preparations are complete. The protest, which he emphasized is exclusively a PTI movement, will not involve other parties like JUI-F or Mahmood Achakzai. He condemned the government’s handling of inflation and unemployment, highlighting the deteriorating situation in the country.

"More than a hundred soldiers have been martyred in a month, and the government has shown no real effort to address the crisis," he added. Qaiser confirmed that the protest would be led by Hammad Azhar from Punjab and Ali Amin from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Despite expected government barriers, PTI plans to carry out its protest wherever necessary. “It is our legal right to protest, and we will reach Islamabad no matter how long it takes. Our target is Islamabad, and we will achieve our goal through protest,” he asserted. The demands driving the protest are clear, according to Qaiser: resolution of the alleged mandate theft cases, the release of PTI leadership from jail, and the pursuit of justice. With tensions high, the November 24 protest marks the party's strong call for accountability and justice, as they continue their struggle for legal rights without compromise.
