Former Imran Khan party leaders urge parole for jailed PTI figures to enable dialogue

ISLAMABAD: A group of former leaders of jailed ex-premier Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has requested the government to release several high-profile PTI leaders on parole, describing the move as a vital “confidence-building measure” to end the political polarization in the country. The request, sent on Wednesday by a newly formed National Dialogue Committee (NDC), comes days after a special court in Islamabad sentenced Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, to 17 years on charges of understating the value of state gifts before acquiring them for personal use.
