The PTI founder has not been offered any deal. He is ready to forgive all injustices done to him to move the country forward,” the Express Tribune reported.

The government is failing to meet its expenses.” He called for the judiciary to expedite the cases against Imran Khan and underscored the importance of advancing negotiations.
On June 9, an aircraft carrying a banner that read ‘Release Imran Khan’ was seen flying over the stadium during the India versus Pakistan match in the T20 World Cup 2024 in New York. PTI shared a video of the incident on their X handle, captioning it ‘Release Imran Khan.’
Imran Khan, aged 71, who served as Pakistan’s Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022, has been imprisoned in Adiala Jail since August 2023 on several charges, including the Toshakhana case, cipher case, and un-Islamic marriage case.
Pakistan held its 12th general elections in February, but the fairness of the polls has been questioned, particularly by the PTI, which has alleged rigging and an unfair playing field. Despite losing its election symbol, PTI-supported independent candidates won the majority of seats. However, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), and other smaller parties have formed the government.
