Imran Khan 'not ready' for deal, says Marwat

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat said on Thursday that party founder Imran Khan was "not ready" for the deal.

Expressing his thoughts, Marwat said: "Imran Khan has castigated me for giving a statement in line with Saudi Arabia. T s no news about a forward bloc within the PTI."

"I have no idea about somebody's reservations within the party about KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. All the news that is circulating is based on assumptions," said Marwat.

Marwat maintained: "Efforts are underway to spread unrest in the party on the basis of merely assumptions." 

 Speaking about the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman, Marwat said: "Normally, the PAC chairman comes from the National Assembly."

– Islamabad High Court stops police from arresting Marwat –

Earlier today, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had granted protective bail to PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat in a case registered in Kasur.

Justice Tariq Mahmood Jahangiri presided over the hearing, issuing directives to the Punjab Police against arresting Marwat.

The PTI firebrand was granted bail for a period of two weeks in exchange for surety bond of Rs10,000. Additionally, the court directed Marwat to appear before the court concerned within the stipulated two-week timeframe.

Justice Jahangiri expressed concern over the multiple charges faced by Marwat, remarking that it seemed as though he had been embroiled in legal issues across various areas. "Sher Afzal Marwat sahab, is there any area left where you don't have a case against you?" the judge asked. 

Responding to the court's queries, Marwat said he was being booked across the country. He highlighted that the case in question was registered by police when he held a rally in Kasur.
