Imran Khan’s issues must be resolved through courts, says Tariq Fazal Chaudhry

Federal Minister Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry has ruled out the possibility of any political deal or special concessions for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan saying all matters concerning the former prime minister must be settled through the courts.

Speaking to journalists, the federal minister maintained that the government had neither a policy of striking deals nor any intention of offering concessions to the PTI founder.

Chaudhry also questioned what he described as contradictory positions taken by Imran Khan saying that while the former prime minister projected himself as an uncompromising political figure claims were simultaneously being made about contacts with the government.

He argued that reports of negotiations with the government did not align with the PTI founder’s publicly stated political stance.

The minister categorically denied any direct or indirect communication between the government and PTI dismissing reports of backchannel negotiations as unfounded.

He further maintained that claims about behind-the-scenes contacts were based on political expectations rather than actual developments.

His remarks come amid continued speculation about possible political engagement between the government and PTI, particularly regarding Imran Khan’s legal cases and the country’s broader political situation.

The federal minister reiterated that the government would not pursue a separate political arrangement concerning the PTI founder and that his outstanding matters would be addressed through the judicial process.
