Achakzai, Allama Nasir Face Sharp Criticism From PTI Leader Saif
Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif questions the opposition leaders’ efforts for Imran Khan’s release and says their contacts are not aimed at helping the PTI founder.
PTI Leaders – (Staff Reporter/Web Desk) – PTI leader Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif has made strong claims against Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Allama Nasir Abbas. He questioned how much they are really doing to free party founder Imran Khan.
Saif spoke on the Geo News programme “Jirga”. He said the two leaders are not working as hard as people think.
He said Allama Nasir, who is the Senate Opposition Leader, is in touch with key people in the establishment. But he added that these talks are not meant to secure Imran Khan’s release.
Saif then turned to Achakzai, the Opposition Leader in the National Assembly. He said the veteran politician is not ready to sit with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for talks on Imran Khan’s behalf.
According to Saif, Achakzai won back a seat he had lost with the help of PML-N President Nawaz Sharif. Yet he still refuses to talk to PM Shehbaz about the jailed PTI founder.
Saif also said Achakzai went to Quetta at a very important stage of the talks. In his view, the timing was poor.
He said Imran Khan made Achakzai the opposition leader so that he could speak with the government. But Saif claimed that Achakzai is doing nothing for the PTI founder.
Saif went further and said Achakzai has contacted Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. He said this was done to secure the release of his own son.
The PTI leader also spoke again about Allama Nasir. He said the senator’s thinking is limited to the deputy commissioner, the tehsildar and the patwari.
Saif added that former KP chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur had helped Allama Nasir become a senator.
The remarks have added fresh tension to the opposition ranks. Many people are now watching to see how Achakzai and Allama Nasir will respond.
For now, the push for Imran Khan’s release remains a hot topic in Pakistani politics.
