RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar said on Thursday he met Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Asim Munir along with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and termed it a positive step towards resolving ongoing issues.
Talking to journalists at Adiala Jail courtroom here, the PTI chief said all matters and demands of the party were presented directly to Gen Munir. “I and Ali Amin Gandapur held a meeting with COAS Munir, during which we outlined all of PTI’s concerns and priorities,” said Barrister Gohar.
PTI founder Imran Khan also confirmed to reporters Gohar had met the army chief in Peshawar. Khan mentioned that his party had long been trying to get the other side on the negotiation table.
The meeting reportedly occurred during Gen Munir’s visit to Peshawar, where he met top provincial political leaders. “The door was closed from the other side. Now that it has opened, this is good news and [will bring] stability to Pakistan,” said Khan, who has vehemently opposed entering any deal with his opponents.
Elaborating on the reported meeting while speaking to Geo News, Gohar remarked: “What Imran Khan has said about my meeting with the COAS is correct”.
