Islamabad, February 20, 2026
Pakistan politics erupts as PM Shehbaz Sharif’s political advisor Rana Sanaullah disclosed two serious settlement attempts with jailed ex-PM Imran Khan were rebuffed. Made during TV appearance amid PTI-government deadlock.
Nov 2024: Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi + KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur led first effort pre-Nov 26 protests.
Recent: Foreign intermediaries tried second round; Khan initially agreed then withdrew.
Sanaullah: Khan’s “stubbornness” derailed progress despite establishment’s non-involvement.
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar: No deal/leniency offered; Khan remains “convicted criminal.” Sanaullah urged PTI Charter of Stability acceptance.
PTI/lawyer Salman Safdar: 73yo Khan lost 85% right eye vision. Family demands private doctors; sister Aleema alleges jail mistreatment. Indian ex-captains Ganguly/Azharuddin voiced support.
