Imran Khan is not responsible for posts from his X account, says PTI chairman Gohar

Pakistan Teheek-e-Insaf chairman Barrister Gohar has said the former prime minister Imran Khan has nothing to do with the posts being shared from his X account.

In a podcast, Barrister Gohar said Imran Khan is in jail and he is not responsible for the posts nor does he go through the content.

Gohar said the video of 1971 should be taken in a political context not in the military.

عمران خان کا اپنے اکاؤنٹ سے ہونے والی ٹوئٹ سے کوئی تعلق نہیں، عمران خان جیل میں ہیں وہ ہر ویڈیو یا کانٹینٹ (سوشل میڈیا مواد) کو منظور نہیں کرتے، 1971 والی ویڈیو کو سیاسی نہ کہ فوجی تناظر میں دیکھا جائے، چئیرمین تحریک انصاف بیرسٹر گوہر pic.twitter.com/98srvZZlOx

Imran Khan on Wednesday hinted at launching a street agitation to protest what he called “political persecution” of his party workers and instructed his party’s leadership and supporters to wait for his call.

In a message to his party workers, the 71-year-old former cricketer-turned-politician claimed that during the "past two darkest years in Pakistan’s history, PTI’s political persecution was carried on with complete impunity".

"My message for my nation: we must now be ready to practically struggle against this fascist mafia. I instruct all of you— my central party leadership, central, provincial and local party organisation, members, workers, supporters and the common man to wait for my street agitation call,” Khan said in his message posted on his account on X.
