Shibli continued to say, “Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan will not go to London or any other country. Imran Khan, women and political prisoners should be released”.

He further said that Pakistan Army is also our army. If the legal cases are real then they should be prosecuted. PTI should be allowed political freedom and activity, an independent judicial commission should be formed on what happened to PTI.

PTI leader further stated that the issue of Ali Amin Gandapur's occupation of Islamabad is political, election tribunals should decide on mistakes in 30 days and issue a white paper on rigging and errors soon.

Faraz also said that the people voted for us despite all the actions, intra-party elections were held three times and objections were raised, political and economic stability will not come in the atmosphere of political revenge.

The political decisions are being made by the courts, apparently a democratic and parliamentary system is established, we have become irrelevant to the world, which is a terrible thing. The country has assumed a patient status at this time, he stated.
