ISLAMABAD: Senator Rana Sanaullah, Prime Minister’s Advisor, has indicated that filing a treason case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan cannot be ruled out.
He also observed that Khan’s situation might resemble that of MQM founder Altaf Hussain, with whom he had served as party leadership for some time.
During an interview with a TV channel, Sanaullah said that the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) had issued a clear and firm message at a recent press briefing “PTI has been cautioned. If they disregard it there will be repercussions,” he remarked, noting that the government completely supports the ISPR declaration.
Sanaullah also mentioned Khan’s tweet after meeting with his sister stating, “Given the language he employed the verdict has been finalized. The chance of a treason case against him remains plausible.”
He further condemned remarks made at PTI gatherings asserting that these acts will provoke a reaction. “These individuals are moving toward their destiny, which won’t be any different from that of MQM or its originator. Where are MQM London and Altaf Hussain, at present?” he questioned.
Discussing the affairs of the party, Sanaullah forecasted that PTI could soon divide into distinct groups. “Most of PTI will not engage in this frenzy,” he remarked.
On a related note, he accused India, Afghanistan, and PTI-affiliated media of promoting the narrative of terrorists responsible for the Jaffer Express attack.

Rana Sanaullah claims Aleema Khan brought Imran’s anarchy-driven messages
Prime Minister’s advisor, Rana Sanaullah has claimed that there is proof that Aleema Khan has been conveying the anarchy and chaos creation messages of her brother, adding that such doing will not be tolerated.
During an interview with the Geo News, he said that, “Imran Khan who is in jail, should keep low and not create any fuss.” Adding to it, he said, “If Imran Khan means provoking a movement of anarchists and disorder from the jail, then he will have to face the consequences.”
Rana Sanaullah also pointed out that law empowers the local government to put a ban on meetings with people who are involved in illegal activities. According to him, if the state is wrong in taking its stance, it can be opposed in court, and if the court rulings meet, it will be allowed.
He said that first of all, it should be determined whether the protesters had used violence. He conveyed the notion in this way: “Nobody is entitled to incite riots, and if the authorities make a decision to expel the people, they certainly have the power to do so, but it ought to be done peacefully without the occurrence of a riot or the use of force.”
Rana Sanaullah condemned the abuse of women and asserted that the wrongdoers would never be forgiven. He mentioned that the matter deserves a detailed investigation and that the people who have been brought to the situation should be allowed to speak their truth.
He ended by saying that the matter should have been solved without any violence and by the Islamabad High Court.
