The release of political prisoners and acceptance of its mandate will have a “healing touch”: PTI Pakistan

GG News Bureau

Islamabad [Pakistan], 11th Feb. According to Dawn, Gohar Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said that the only “healing touch” the establishment could provide after the elections was the release of political prisoners and the acceptance of its mandate to rule. The nation needs “stable hands and a healing touch to move on from the politics of anarchy and polarization,” according to Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Asim Munir, who made those remarks beforehand. Barrister Gohar stated, “Healing touch would mean that you [army] got to make sure that there are no political prisoners anymore in Pakistan, as per Dawn,” in an interview with Arab News. “We must adhere to the directive. There is no healing touch possible without it.”

According to Gohar, “a united government means that all parties should share the same understanding of the importance of respecting and giving priority to the will of the people.”

“The people have voiced their opinions through voting, and this is the first time they have done so in the face of extreme hardship [during the PTI crackdown.”

The PTI’s commitment to democratic values and the rule of law in Pakistan is reflected in its demands for the release of political prisoners and the recognition of election results. In addition, General Asim Munir, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, stressed the necessity of unity and stable governance in the wake of the current election process, as Dawn reported.

Speaking through the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), General Munir emphasized the significance of having a single government that reflects Pakistan’s varied political environment. He emphasized that democracy and elections are means, not ends, in the service of the people.

“To move on from the politics of anarchy and polarization, the nation needs stable hands and a healing touch,” General Munir said, highlighting the significance of progressive governance for Pakistan’s sizable populace. General Munir recognized the importance of political maturity and called on political parties to put aside their own interests and work together to serve the people in order to maintain democracy’s functionality and purpose.

Moreover, in the midst of a fragmented mandate, PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif declared his intention to form a united government with former allies, such as the PPP, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F), and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (Pakistan). Following his declaration of victory in the elections, Nawaz Sharif met with PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari in Lahore. Pakistan’s political scene is still evolving as political parties work out coalitions and post-election plans.
