ISLAMABAD: The incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman, Imran Khan, on Monday, said that his recent letter to Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Asim Munir were not intended to strike a deal but rather to show him the real picture of the state-of-affairs prevalent in the country.
Talking to journalists outside Adiala Jail after the hearing of the Toshakhana-II case, Khan’s sister Aleema Khan quoted him as saying that he did not write letters to COAS to make a deal but to portray a true picture of the present situation in Pakistan.
“If you [the COAS] conduct a poll today then you will come to know how much the trust of people over military has come down,” she said, while quoting Khan.
