ISLAMABAD (ABN News): Senior Pakistani politician Fawad Chaudhry<\/a> has once again voiced strong support for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), declaring that the party’s founder, Imran Khan, continues to live in the hearts of the people and remains a highly popular figure across the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking at ABN News\u2019 program “Debate@8”, Chaudhry emphasized that those who believe Imran Khan has lost influence are living in a “fool’s paradise.” He said the PTI founder\u2019s narrative still resonates powerfully with the public and poses a continuous challenge to his political opponents.<\/p>\n

He strongly criticized the state\u2019s use of coercive force, calling it a deliberate policy to suppress PTI\u2019s popularity. \u201cIf the past three years of the \u2018baton policy\u2019 have failed to deliver results, how can anyone expect it to succeed in the next three?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n

Fawad Chaudhry stated that if Imran Khan returns to power, he should assure current rulers that they will not be treated the same way he has been treated. He highlighted the absence of a conducive environment for dialogue, blaming in part the pressure created by social media, which has hardened political narratives on both sides.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Chaudhry also offered partial criticism of PTI\u2019s own political strategy, acknowledging that at times the party\u2019s approach has contributed to worsening the political crisis.<\/p>\n

He accused the government of deliberately adopting a hardline stance, driven by the fear that any leniency would enable Imran Khan to regain his strength. \u201cThis mindset has led to a crackdown at every level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, Fawad Chaudhry stressed the urgent need for seriousness from both sides to improve the situation. \u201cThe current state of affairs is neither beneficial for democracy nor for the country’s stability,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
