Mahmood Khan Achakzai claimed that jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan is being pressured into a deal to leave the country, similar to the historical fates of Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto.
Following a military coup and imprisonment, Nawaz Sharif left Pakistan in 2000 through a deal brokered by Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, while Benazir Bhutto went into voluntary exile after her party lost the 1997 elections.
The opposition demanded a more powerful parliament, an independent commission for transparent elections, and clarity on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister's stance while challenging the state of emergency and governor's rule in the province.
