PTI won’t accept coalition governing on a stolen mandate, says Asad Qaiser
Aamir Dogar has denied that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has written any letter to the International Monetary Fund, urging the lender to ensure Pakistan election audit before any bailout talks.
“Have you seen the letter? There is only clamour for. If there will be any letter from our side that will be sent officially to somewhere or published or a media talk on it, it will be then [discussed],” he said in an interview on PVT TV,
When asked if he was saying that no letter has been written yet, he said: “I think no letter has so far been written.”
The denial from Dogar, the Sunni Ittehad Council’s chief whip in the National Assembly, comes three days after chairman Barrister Gohar Khan told a news conference in Islamabad that the party sent the letter to the IMF.
According to PTI spokesperson Raoof Hasan, the letter was being sent “under the instructions and on behalf” of Khan. Party’s Zulfikar Bukhari had confirmed the letter to Reuters.
The PTI had agreed to support the lender’s financing facility for Pakistan on condition that free and fair elections be held in the country during the last interaction between Khan and IMF representatives in 2023.
The international lender had sought support from all political parties after agreeing with Islamabad on the $3 billion standby arrangement.

PTI will never accept a government with a stolen mandate, party leader Asad Qaiser asserted on Saturday.
The former National Assembly speaker, while interacting with a group of reporters, said that his party was striving for the supremacy of the constitution and law, and would gather all political parties against electoral malpractices.
Qaiser announced his party’s plans to go to the court of public against the theft of its mandate, regretting that the rigged elections had only stirred instability in the country. He also noted that the judiciary was not independent in the country either.
The PTI leader urged all state institutions to operate within their constitutional ambits, observing that as long as institutions did not work within their defined parameters, the country could not flourish.
Qaier vowed that his party would bring true democracy in the country.
