ISLAMABAD : One of the leading religious scholars of the country tried to approach the military establishment and Imran Khan but failed.An informed source said the effort is being made ahead of the Feb. 8 election. But it failed. The source did not release the name of the researcher.Given what Imran Khan has accused the army, its top leaders and even the current and most recent army chiefs since he was ousted from government in April 2022, credibility is now a major challenge. founder leader of PTI was jailed. Who trusts him? Who will ensure that Imran Khan is held accountable and avoid making serious allegations against others including the military without evidence?For the past two years, Khan has pursued a two-pronged policy of attacking the military and senior generals while pressuring them to oust the governments of his opponents so he can return to power.

Even after the May 9 attacks and the February 8 elections, Khan continues his direct attacks on the current army chief. Interestingly, at the same time, he seeks dialogue with General Asim Munir and his subordinates.But after the February 8 elections, the army spokesman explained to the media in a press conference that the army would not dialogue with the PTI. The spokesperson was asked if dialogue with PTI is possible, to which he replied: "If any political mindset, leader or clique attacks its army, creates discord between the army and its people, insults the martyrs of the people and threatens and incubates propaganda, there can be no dialogue with them."The army spokesman added, "The only return for such anarchists is if it (PTI) makes a serious apology to the people and promises to give up the politics of hatred and adopt a constructive (style). In any case. , such a dialogue should to be held between political parties sometimes." .

It is not appropriate for the military to be involved." After the appointment of the current army chief, the PTI lost all ties with the military. Imran Khan and the PTI have tried in frustration to engage in dialogue with the military using the tenure of President Dr. Arif Alvi and retired generals who were supporters of Khan, but received no response from the other side. In PTI, which is currently embroiled in internal strife, many agree that Imran Khan"s policy of attacking the military establishment and leveling all kinds of allegations against senior army generals has not done the party any good. Instead, it is said that such policies have created more problems for the PTI and Imran Khan himself, who at the same time also wants to talk only with the military regime.
