Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson Dr Shireen Mazari on Friday said that her party was fully prepared to put forward concrete proposals for the formation of a national security policy by consensus and it was not in any way responsible for delay in the holding of an All Parties Conference (APC). Mazari also said that PTI Chairman Imran Khan had left for United Kingdom (UK) for medical assistance for his back injury and his visit was no impediment to PTI’s participation and putting forward its proposals in the APC. Regarding statement by opposition leader Khurshid Shah that the APC should not be postponed because of Imran Khan, Dr Mazari said that Shah should know that PTI was not the reason for the postponement. Mazari said that there had been extensive media targeting of Imran Khan based on lies and misrepresentation of facts. “The facts are that Khan had waited two months for the holding of the APC on his request for a meaningful meeting on counter-terrorism beyond usual APC rhetoric. As a result, he had to postpone his urgently-required medical trip to the UK,” Mazari said, adding that PTI leaders were informed of the meeting just a few days before the scheduled date and during this time the chairman was not contacted directly at all. “The first attempt at direct contact was on the night of Khan’s departure but it proved unsuccessful,” she asserted. Mazari further added that Khan’s physical condition made it impossible for him to postpone his medical consultation for rehabilitation in view of the life-threatening injuries he had suffered. “Those making a mockery of his injuries and the urgency for medical consultation are not only medically ignorant but deliberately malicious,” she added. She said at no time did Khan ever state he that would postpone his UK trip as that was not an option at this time. “Rumours about this were simply rumours but their persistence raises questions about intent of the rumour mongers,” she added. Mazari said that Khan had nominated PTI representatives for the APC and a complete set of suggestions and demands had been prepared.
