LONDON: The Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) has clarified the presence of its leader in the election campaign of Zac Goldsmith in London, as reported by The News.
The PTI issued a statement here, saying Imran Khans one-off trip to the Kingston mosque in support of an individual, namely Zac Goldsmith, who is also his former brother-in-law, did not mean he was running a full election campaign for the Conservative party in the UK.
Khan clarified: Zac Goldsmith maybe my ex-brother-in-law. However, he is true to his cause and is anti-war. Khan said he would ask all his party supporters in the UK to support and vote for any MP who was anti-war. Khan went on to say that Zac was not only honest but did not need to be a politician. However, he has committed himself to understanding issues of all the people, especially the minorities (whose voice is often not heard) in his constituency in order to be able to provide solutions to their problems. We would like to clarify this is Khans second visit to the Kingston mosque.
The remark that Imran Khan was pro-Taliban was also contested by the PTI. We demand to see evidence of Mr Khan ever having given a single statement to support the Taliban. Being against the military action and promoting dialogue with the Taliban to achieve a political solution does not mean Mr Khan is pro-Taliban. Please note all Western liberals as well as Gen McCrystal and David Miliband are also suggesting a dialogue with the Taliban for a political solution in Afghanistan does this mean they will also be called pro-Taliban?
