PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf central information secretary and MNA Sheikh Waqas Akram on Tuesdaysaid that there was neither any difference nor any place for tug-of-war in the party.

During a news conference at the information department here, Mr Akram said that PTI founder Imran Khan had made it clear in its media interaction on Tuesday that the party`s president in KP was changed at the request of Chief Minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur, who held the office.

He said that the chief minister had also conveyed to the party founder in person and through others a request to relieve himof the party`s provincial president`s post as he was finding it difficult to manage both offices.

The PTI leader said Imran fully trusted the party`s government, chief minister KP and party workers.

He said that the federal government was not interested in taking talks with the PTI to the logical end, so its talk of sorting out issues through dialogue was hypocrisy.

`There`s room for talks and not for wasting our time,` he said.

Mr Akram said that the government couldn`t even arrange a meeting of party leaders with founder of their party Imran Khan and was using the jail manual and other regulations as a pretext to prevent that sought-after interaction.

He questioned which jail manual allowed the early morning meeting of PTI chairman Barrister Gohar and leader Barrister Saif with Imran before the party`s Sangjani public gathering and a meeting on Nov 24.

`We`re asking the government to just issue a notification regarding the formation of a judicial commission to look into our grievances. Its modalities could have been worked out in the fourth session of talks,` he said. Bureau Report
