PTI protest: Ali Muhammad Khan's alleged audio leaked

Islamabad: An audio of PTI leader Ali Muhammad Khan was leaked on the issue of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)'s November 26 protest in Islamabad.

Ali Muhammad can be heard in the alleged audio that when PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan briefed the core committee, he said that the PTI founder had stated that if you want to sit in Sangjani, then do so and negotiate there. After sitting for a day or two, then they will decide further whether to move forward or what.

He said in the audio that his biggest regret is that the PTI founder had not specifically asked for D-Chowk but Islamabad only. There are many witnesses to these words because Gohar did not have a meeting with the PTI founder after that and he met on the 25th. He had the direction from the founding chairman to reach Islamabad only.

PTI's founder did not know about Bibi being there. When he was told, he said: ‘Oh! She is also there,’ it was not in his knowledge because he does not get all the information in the prison, stated Khan.

PTI leader added that Chairman Gohar and the secretary-general should have announced the direction of the PTI founder on 25th of sitting in Sangjani. They made a strategic mistake while conveying it to the leadership and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had agreed to it. Who knew what would happen next? Neither we knew, Bibi or Gohar, who knew that they would shoot people. They showed tyranny and oppression, but we made a mistake by not following our leader’s orders.

He further said that Gohar had briefed the orders to the core committee and political committee meetings multiple times in this regard. The main leadership should keep this in mind for the next time. What happened to us cannot be justified. They cannot fire even one bullet and that too in the capital city. We should not have given them this chance.

I did not know about this. I got to know on the 26th when Gohar briefed the political committee, said Ali Muhammad.
