- High leaders, supporters abroad promoting dialogue.
- Supporters based in the United States are urging to slow down social media campaigns.
- “Unhappy” Gohar of the protest call without consultation.
Islamabad: Key members of the Pakistan Tehreek-E-insaf Pakistan Committee (PTI) expressed serious reserves concerning Murad Saeed’s unilateral announcement of a protest march in Swat on April 11.
The question should be raised with the imprisoned founder of the party, Imran Khan, who will finally decide to support the opportunity to support the position of confrontation pushed by Bellician leaders like Saeed or to allow moderates within the party to defuse tensions in search of potential relief.
According to sources, Pakistani doctors and businessmen based in the United States, who recently met Imran in Adiala prison as well as a senior Islamabad, urged PTI chief to curb the aggressive campaigns of the party’s social media. However, there has not yet been a clear signal of Imran ordering its digital teams to reduce their rhetoric.
The superior personalities of the PTI, including the president of the Barrister Gohar Ali Khan party and several members of the political committee, would not be satisfied with the decision of SAEED to call the demonstration without consultation or official approval of the Directorate of the Management.
“These decisions require the green light of Imran Khan,” said a senior party official to this correspondent, adding that the marches and gatherings of past protest have given little political gains and rather intensified the pressure on the party and its imprisoned leaders.
The current feeling among many in the PTI – and in particular among the supporters of Overseas is trying to negotiate a certain form of reconciliation between the establishment and Imran – moves towards dialogue rather than confrontation.
“Neither the expected international pressure has been materialized nor the aggressive policy raised us,” said an initiate of the party. “We also realized that the judiciary is unlikely to deliver what we hoped for. Dialogue remains the best option, but it cannot succeed in the presence of hostile social media. ”
