Opposition Alleges Imran Khan Pressured to Accept Exile-Style Deal Amid Political ChangesPreviousNext

Opposition leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai has alleged that imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan is being pressured to accept an exile-style deal similar to those of Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto, who spent years abroad after leaving office. Achakzai made these claims at a Peshawar High Court news conference amid PTI's loss of its last provincial government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. No official confirmation of such a deal exists, and details about the alleged pressure or terms remain undisclosed.
