He said earlier, some overseas Pakistanis had tried to convey reconciliation on their own, but the ultimate decision rests exclusively with the PTI founder in response to questions from some journalists.
“The most important questions are: Should there be conversations or not, who should lead them and under what reference conditions? These decisions lie only with the founder,” he said.
According to Gandapur, if any party leader by the name of anyone, but the founder did not agree, the case could not continue. “Lectures can only move forward if the founder himself nominates someone or agrees with a name,” he said.
He added that although it can be said that efforts were made to reconcile between the establishment and the PTI founder, it was difficult to identify someone as a broker, as none other than the founder had authority to approve such an engagement.
