Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)'s internal rifts were exposed at Adiala Jail, as party leaders bickered over the Islamabad protest and Imran Khan's jail conditions.
PTI founding chairman Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, sister Aleema Khan and party leaders Faisal Chaudhry, Barrister Gohar Khan, and Mashal Yousafzai were all present when an argument erupted over the aftermath of the November 24 protest, Express News reported.
Bushra Bibi voiced her frustration over Punjab’s lackluster response to the protest, claiming that the region had not shown enough support to the party during its November protest in Islamabad.
In contrast, Barrister Gohar Khan defended Punjab’s efforts, pointing to the harsh crackdown and the arrest of 5,000 party members, which he argued severely hampered PTI’s operations in the province.
The exchange took a turn when Aleema Khan confronted Faisal Chaudhry, questioning why PTI’s founder, Imran Khan, wasn’t being provided newspapers and other basic jail facilities.
Chaudhry defended the party's efforts but turned the blame back on senior officials, questioning why they weren’t taking more responsibility by attending court hearings themselves.
The tension deepened when Aleema Khan raised concerns over the Islamabad High Court’s monitoring commission.
Faisal Chaudhry clarified that the commission was court-mandated and out of their control. However, Mashal Yousafzai accused Chaudhry of undermining the commission’s work, leading to a sharp exchange of words.
Barrister Gohar Khan, attempting to quell the disagreement, advised the group to leave certain decisions to party leadership, suggesting that widespread public commentary on protests and internal matters only bred confusion.
Amidst the bickering, PTI founding chairman Imran Khan expressed grave concerns over what he said was the rise of "fascism" in Punjab, claming that it had instilled fear among the public.
He referenced the D-Chowk protest, where 200 PTI members have reportedly gone missing.

PTI softens stance on dialogue
Ikram Junaidi | Syed Irfan Raza
December 12, 2024
ISLAMABAD: In a departure from its stance on holding talks only with the powers that be, the PTI on Wednesday expressed willingness to negotiate with the Shehbaz-led government if given any “implementable” or “serious” offer.
The statement indicates that formal talks between the government and the opposition may commence soon, particularly in light of a meeting between PML-N leader and National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq and PTI leaders Salman Akram Raja and Asad Qaiser at the former’s residence. The PTI leaders had gone there to offer condolences on the death of the speaker’s sister.
The meeting was followed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s visit to the speaker’s residence which fuelled speculation that the meeting with the PTI might have come under discussion during the premier’s visit.
The possibility of talks taking place between the two sides was given credence by the fact that PTI chairman Gohar Ali Khan endorsed ‘unconditional’ talks from both the government and the opposition sides.

Call for talks
Talking to journalists outside the court, Barrister Gohar urged the need for continuing to pursue “comprehensive, unconditional” negotiations between the PTI and the federal government amid hesitation in the party, Dawn.com reported.
PTI leaders had recently agreed to negotiate with the federal government if the offer was ‘serious’, but party founder Imran Khan had criticised the leadership on Thursday for acting as if ‘all is well’ and reiterated his call for civil disobedience if the government continued to ignore his demands.
Barrister Gohar said: “It is essential for democracy to find political solutions to political issues. We will proceed in accordance with the law.”
When asked if the party’s demands were conditions for negotiations, he clarified: “We have not given any conditions, these are our demands. We will negotiate on these demands.”
“We did have contact with the government, but we were disconnected at a critical stage,” the chairman said in response to a question about prior attempts at talks.
“We are hopeful we will re-establish contact and improve the situation […] When there are negotiations, all issues will be resolved,” he said. “Enough is enough. Let us put a stop to everything and move towards improvement.”

61 PTI supporters discharged
Islamabad ATC judge Tahir Abbas Sipra discharged 61 PTI workers out of 188 arrested in connection with the D-Chowk protest. During the hearing, officials from Sihala, Aabpara, and Tarnol police stations produced the detained protesters before the court.
After the completion of a two-day physical remand, 31 individuals were presented in court by the Sihala police. The judge rejected the police’s request for an extension in physical remand and sent the accused on judicial remand.
A total of 94 PTI workers arrested by the Aabpara police were produced before the court. Four were discharged, while 90 were sent back to police custody on a two-day physical remand. The Tarnol police brought 63 individuals to court. The judge discharged 57 from the case and approved a two-day physical remand for the remaining six.
The PTI’s counsel alleged that police had rearrested individuals previously discharged on Saturday, prompting Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra to intervene. The judge left the courtroom, confronted police officers at the judicial complex entrance, and instructed them to release the discharged individuals immediately.
Following the court’s direct orders, the police released the activists.
