Former PTI leader Faisal Vawda stated on Saturday that, despite the current closure of negotiation channels, the party must find a way to initiate talks with the establishment. He emphasized that dialogue remained the key to resolving all issues. \u201cI have been stressing this for quite some time,\u201d he added. Vawda criticized PTI leaders and social media activists for maligning the Pakistan Army, which he said had achieved victory in a war against India. \u201cOur soldiers are shedding their blood defending the country, yet these individuals continue to malign them. It is deeply unfortunate,\u201d he remarked. He advised PTI leaders to focus on national issues and channel their criticism toward political opponents instead. \u201cYou are free to criticize me\u2014you are welcome to\u2014but what we are witnessing instead is abuse, violence, and agitation,\u201d he said. The politician warned that no one should assume that attacks on opponents would go unanswered. He also lamented that the more rational voices within the PTI were being stifled and prevented from speaking freely. \u201cTo make matters worse, these individuals are trolled by their own party members,\u201d he added. He recalled that when a narcotics case was filed against PML-N stalwart Rana Sanaullah, he vehemently opposed it. Vawda said that the former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan was now in a blind alley. He said that if Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Sohail Afridi would take 20 steps back, the establishment would take one step forward. He said that the countdown for those indulging in anti-state propaganda had begun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
