Jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has dismissed negotiations with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government, labeling it a "puppet" regime lacking real authority. He insists that meaningful dialogue can only occur with the military establishment, which he deems the actual power holders. Khan, incarcerated since August 2023 following his government's ousting in April 2022, accuses the current administration of fabricating political cases and suppressing his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), through forced abductions and coerced press conferences. He refutes claims of any negotiation attempts, stating no one has approached him for talks. Despite restrictions on family visits and medical care, Khan remains resolute, asserting his commitment to the nation's welfare. (PC: AP)
