Frankly Speaking about PTI Dilemma in Pakistan

Padmini Arhant

Those who fail to recognize the real enemy, continue on the path towards the cliff the enemy leads them to against the well being of the one misled in the contrived objective.

PTI was displaced by Washington proxy administration in 2022 instigating No-Confidence vote against then Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The event and Washington proxy administration involvement in this matter has been publicly confirmed by the former PM Imran Khan upon losing No-Confidence vote in 2022 and during later interviews with western media.

The political sabotage against Pakistan by the proxy administration in Washington in 2021 – 2024 is not the only example.

The trajectory is an extension of 2009 – 2016 executive role in destabilization and displacement of democratic governments and those regarded inconvenient worldwide.

Again not surprisingly, the interjection of the messenger carefully picked by the name Donald Lu as scapegoat by the proxy administrator in Washington derailing PTI governance and PM Imran Khan in particular, in 2022, is a standard tactic by the one having championed destabilization and political unrest world over throughout own destructive political career ironically as a democrat.

The proof of the pudding is in the coup dètat against own incumbent in democrat party, the United States and the Republic at large in November 2024, United States Presidential election. 

PTI leader Imran Khan treading the political current with one foot in the canoe and the other at the banks is equivalent to neither here nor there with the inevitable being capsizing of the canoe i.e. PTI in this reference.

Even in the latest position, PTI leader Imran Khan calling for Street Movement on February 8, 2026 alongside granting reportedly the Power of Attorney to designated members in the political party to hold discussion with incumbent power in Islamabad is the scenario enunciated above.

In multilateral stance, such as PTI leader and former PM Imran Khan’s desire to test own popularity perhaps among own political base and nationwide, the Street Movement call explored.

Not that this experiment has not been tried earlier with unfortunate untoward incidents occurrence resulting in PTI, PTI elected members and the former Imran Khan’s status quo in December 2025.

Whenever mass protests and demonstrations are held, the opportunity for elements not necessarily within own party or even among political opposition in the country,

The external intervention via proxy are often involved as it was in the case of No-Confidence Vote against PM Imran Khan from Washington with Indian political alliance and others displeased with ex- PM Imran Khan’s pre-organized trip to Moscow that coincided with the first day of Ukraine – Russia war in February 2022.

EU was up the ante fueled by the proxy administration in Washington at PM Imran Khan’s visit to Moscow in February 2022, scheduled in advance long before any indications of Ukraine – Russia war.

The optics of PM Imran Khan meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at that time was quickly misinterpreted by proxy administration in Washington, and key EU members as Pro-Russian and anti-western by Pakistan under then PM Imran Khan.

That set the tone as one of the premises for Washington triggering No-Confidence Vote, even though without any justification in February 2022 against PM Imran Khan within days of return to the Capital Islamabad.

Simultaneously, the long held implementation of objectives against Pakistan to indefinitely assign political instability status depriving economic growth alongside consequential security issues within and outside for Pakistan is a well established pattern for foreign intrusive politics.

PTI’s reaction to No-Confidence Vote in February 2022, although created by foreign power and alliance, the PTI fragile coalition from 2018, albeit the power swap from then majority stake holders PML(N) and PPP along with others,

The former PTI coalition in 2018 – 2022 desertion of PM Imran Khan and the party at the No-Confidence Vote is worth remembering as well.

PTI leader and former PM Imran Khan’s duality as explained above in this topic with Street Movement option alongside designation of members to accept the incumbent government’s invitation for talks is contradictory to one another.

Call for agitation on the street and agreement for talks with government are paradoxical. 

Such decision from former PM Imran Khan generates mistrust with PTI testing Pakistan’s people’s will to take to the streets as done before, and landing in serious troubles including imprisonment of the PTI leader Imran Khan among several PTI elected representatives held in prison to date.

Similarly, the former PM Imran Khan direction to hold talks with the incumbent government as a lateral option rather than primary step to engage with the political head in Islamabad is indicative of PTI’s ambivalence on the dialogue process.

Again, the conflicting positions from PTI is strange considering the former PM Imran Khan’s public statements to Pakistan Defense Force and political leaderships in Islamabad to deal through dialogue and discourse with Pakistan’s persistent security challengers Taliban in Afghanistan and Indian radicalized anti-Pakistan policy in New Delhi.

Meanwhile, PTI leader Imran Khan having reservations if not little or no trust in political talks within own nation whether with political party in Islamabad, or the Pakistan Defense Force, amid statements on peaceful engagement with Afghanistan’s Taliban and New Delhi despite their anti-Pakistan rhetoric and belligerence translated in action in 2025 highlight PTI leader Imran Khan’s misplaced belief and convictions. 

The contradictory notions trusting the ones responsible for PTI’s fiasco, the foreign sources, with PTI leader Imran Khan’s immediate family viz. sisters following foreign cue with public statements to foreign media has exacerbated the situation for PTI leader Imran Khan with the latest 10 – 17 years sentence. 

At home doubting the people support and political as well as the Pakistan Defense Force, especially the latter having promoted then politically struggling PTI leader Imran Khan as Prime Minister in 2018 against all odds – also creates perceptions about PTI leader Imran Khan’s misgivings about domestic conditions, when the reality lies with foreign interventions and long held anti-Pakistan agenda.

When PTI leader Imran Khan’s sisters appearance on Indian and western media footage were replayed with targeted verbal attacks against now Field Marshal Asim Munir, especially post Indian incursion debacle against Pakistan in May 2025,

Those comments against CDC continued while contacts between PTI leader Imran Khan and sisters were allowed and maintained in Adiyala Jail until Dec 2, 2025.

The Khan family letting emotions ride high and misled by foreign politics right across the border, their media together with the parallel structure in Washington as well as London media and vested interests…

All pretending to be empathizers, while being directly responsible for the PTI leader Imran Khan and PTI’s collective decline, personal and political distress.

Furthermore, the visual content and images in the criticism of victorious Pakistan Defense Force and the Field Marshal Asim Munir isolated in the slander, the replayed footage provided fodder for the losing side, New Delhi political power and the Chief, unrecovered from May 2025 Pakistan’s formidable response.

These factors arguably led to Pakistan’s Defense Force comment during press meet in Dec 2025, calling these statements against Pakistan Army and the Chief as “security threat” for Pakistan at the height of enemy’s saber rattling;

In public forum, the Khan sisters headed by the Senior and older sister Aleema Khan out loud comments with repeat induction of Donald Lu, accompanied by targeted attacks against Field Marshal Asim Munir is irrefutable foreign script from parallel wing in Washington with Indian political collusion and London infusion…

The melodrama followed through by PM Khan’s sister on foreign media, besides foreign represented local PTI spokespersons making rounds on Pakistan media citing foreign language diction varying from so and so speaking in French with PTI leader Imran Khan purportedly interacting in Persian is foreign concoction via local PTI agents.

The gibberish from the principal trouble maker in parallel role in Washington (2009 -2016 extended beyond term in 2021 – to date) with limited language skills i.e. one language, and yet failing when delivering straight out of teleprompter require no further mention on linguistic aptitude.

It was also revealed that PTI vote base i.e. the Pakistan electorate neither approved nor on the same page on PTI leader Imran Khan’s sisters’ interviews on Indian and foreign media regarded not in Pakistan’s best interests.

When Pakistan media asked about this particular difference between PTI voters and ex-PM Khan family, the senior sister Allema Khan replied on camera to Pak media – that “PTI leader and her brother Imran Khan asked the sisters to ignore them and continue their course”. 

PTI distancing from foreign forces and elements behind PTI’s shambles, and

Instead directing focus with sincere commitment via talks with Islamabad political leadership and other members in Pakistan’s assembly, with PTI playing the viable reliable political voice of not only PTI voters but entire nation Pakistan in dealing with myriad security to political and economic challenges would exemplify PTI’s priority towards Pakistan and the people.

PTI’s designees approach minus one – i.e. not seeking their leader Imran Khan’s release in the political discussion with Islamabad is also dubious arousing suspicions on who is leading PTI?

Is it the parallel political wing in Washington, Indian political interests, London and other vested interests driving the narratives having been the saboteurs since February 2022 to date? 

The omission of the founder and leader Imran Khan’s release in the conversation with political members in Islamabad creates power vacuum in PTI adding to a great disadvantage in political negotiations.

Due to these confusions and glaring misrepresentations without clear goals and purpose, PTI is offering the incumbent to delay their extended invitation possibly turning into no-starter.

The stalemate is definitely not in favor of PTI bereft of alternatives with their leader Imran Khan and elected representatives in prison.

The roadmap to personal liberty and political participation for PTI is to pursue serious discourse with political leadership in Islamabad in a more conducive environment rather than supercharged emotional outbursts that leads nowhere except for back to square one or even worse.

The PTI leader Imran Khan’s release together with others as casualties held in detention are significant for PTI’s survival and effective role in positive contributions leading Pakistan towards sustainable democratic political system, in return enabling prospective economic future and strong security against threats from within and outside.

Peace and amicable political resolutions in Pakistan.

All that it takes is to light a candle and you find your way.
