RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan on Friday stressed the need for forgiveness, saying that his party would not exact political revenge from anyone rather it would move ahead for the development of the country.
Senior party leader Ali Muhammad Khan said in a social media post after meeting Imran at the Adiala Jail that the PTI founder underscored the importance of forming a truth and reconciliation commission in order to take the country forward.
“After coming to power, we will not take any political revenge, but we will take the country and the nation forward for the sake of development of the country and the nation,” Ali Muhammad Khan quoted Imran as saying.
He added that Imran also referred to former South African leader Nelson Mandela’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
“We must move towards truth and forgiveness. Tehreek-e-Insaf, after coming to power, will take Pakistan towards political stability and development, not revenge.”
