PTI misses Imran concessions after KP governor rule
Party sources say failed talks on the KP governor rule cost PTI a chance to protect its Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government and win relief for jailed founder Imran Khan.
The News says the KP governor rule and an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa followed failed talks and dealt a political blow to PTI.
Party sources said the talks offered a meeting with Imran Khan, the release of his sisters, regular visits and medical treatment if doctors advised it.
No final agreement was reached, so those concessions did not materialise, the paper reports.
Some accounts cited by The News hold Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Sohail Afridi responsible for the failure to settle.
PTI lost control of the provincial government, described as its stronghold and its most significant remaining platform of governmental power.
