ISLAMABAD: Senator Faisal Vawda has stated that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally on November 24 would be a complete failure and that founding the party’s jailed chairman Imran Khan will not be released from Adiala jail.

During a press conference in Islamabad, he also expressed concerns that no one is genuinely trying to save Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and that a particular group is actively escalating his difficulties.

Vawda stated that charges would be framed against Imran Khan on November 25.

He further mentioned that even if the rally took place, PTI members would not be allowed entry into the Red Zone. Instead, they would be assigned a specific location to stage a demonstration, adding that the rally seemed more like a social gathering than a serious political protest. Vawda warned that if PTI attempted to take any unlawful action, the courts would intervene.

He accused a certain faction within PTI of exacerbating Imran Khan’s problems and pursuing their own agenda of power and financial gain, while being detached from the true cause of the party. Vawda remarked that many PTI leaders were compromising their values for political advantage and criticized them for not bringing their own children into the country’s political matters, while the general public’s children suffer.

“Why don’t PTI members bring their children to Pakistan? Everyone’s children are abroad while we continue to deal with the consequences,” Vawda stated, calling for an end to this “spectacle” in front of the nation.

Vawda also highlighted a growing sentiment that some members of PTI, who had previously been loyal party workers, were now speaking about staging an armed march on Islamabad with 5,000 to 7,000 people. He described it as a series of “final calls” from within the party, urging that no one should take advantage of Imran Khan’s current imprisonment.

Regarding foreign interference, Senator Vawda expressed strong criticism of international bodies such as the US Congress and the United Nations for making statements about human rights violations in Pakistan.

He questioned why these organizations were silent about international issues such as the treatment of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, the destruction in Afghanistan, and attacks on former President Donald Trump in the US, which he considered violations of human rights.

Vawda added, “We don’t interfere in your country, so why are you interfering in ours? Your countries have created more destruction in the Middle East and Afghanistan than we ever did, and now you lecture us about human rights.”

He also acknowledged the ongoing issue of terrorism in the country, stating that he was not speaking on behalf of the government but agreeing with Imran Khan’s view that foreign interference had indeed played a role in Pakistan’s internal problems.
