Web desk: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s offer of “parole” to resolve the ongoing border dispute with Afghanistan has sparked a fresh debate on social media.
According to Imran Khan’s sister, Noreen Khan, the PTI founder said during a meeting at Adiala Jail that he wants to end the Pak-Afghan tension through talks. However, observers say that this statement is actually a political tactic, aimed at regaining attention in the current situation.
Netitizens are also having a field day with this statement. A net citizen has commented that he can’t even solve his problem & wants to solve the Afghan crisis.
While another commented that he ‘couldn’t fix his own mess, now he’s got a foreign policy plan?’, saying “Cudnt solve his own problems & want to solve Afghan crisis.”

While another commented, It cannot be that Imran Khan is taken out on parole to negotiate with the Taliban and then imprisoned in a jail in Afghanistan.

Imran Khan has been in jail since August 2023 and is serving a sentence in a 190 million pound corruption case, while several cases, including terrorism, are pending against him. In such a situation, his offer to “resolve the Afghan problem” is being called a political spectacle by critics.
According to a senior analyst, “When the country’s institutions are busy stopping attacks on the borders, Imran Khan’s portrayal of himself as a savior is actually an attempt to gain political sympathy.”
According to political observers, Imran Khan’s latest offer seems to be part of his old “political game plan,” in which he does not shy away from using every national issue for personal popularity.
