Azam Swati claims Imran directed him to engage with establishment

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Azam Swati on Sunday said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan directed him to engage with the establishment. In a sworn video statement, Swati revealed that the PTI founder, Imran Khan, had, during a meeting, tasked him with engaging in talks with the establishment while also instructing him to keep the details of the discussions confidential. He further explained that despite Imran Khan’s public criticism of the establishment on social media, behind-the-scenes efforts were being made to engage in dialogue.

The PTI leader also disclosed that the PTI founder, Imran Khan had directed him to be well-prepared for such discussions, similar to previous instances where sensitive matters had been addressed. Reflecting on the postponement of the PTI rally scheduled for August 22, Azam Swati confirmed that the decision had been made upon the party leadership’s instructions rather than any external influence. He clarified that concerns over potential violence due to religious protests led to the decision to delay the event, emphasising that it was a precautionary measure.



Azam Swati did not shy away from criticising PTI YouTubers based abroad, expressing his frustration over their actions. He urged them to cease spreading false narratives and warned that their actions were only exacerbating the country’s troubles. Swati appealed to the YouTubers to show more responsibility, stating that they were doing harm by continuing to push misleading content.
