Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has reaffirmed that he never ruled out dialogue with the military establishment, according to party chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan.

Speaking to reporters after meeting Imran at Adiala Jail, Gohar clarified that the former prime minister had only refused talks with the current government, not with the establishment.

The remarks come amid speculation over a possible deal between Imran and the government, following Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent invitation for talks.

Sources suggest Imran advised Gohar to keep any dialogue efforts discreet and away from media attention. However, both Gohar and Imran's sister, Aleema Khan, rejected the notion of any deal, stressing no agreement had been made with any party.

PTI Information Secretary Shaikh Waqas Akram also denied reports of any ongoing talks—direct or backchannel—with either the government or the establishment. He noted that any meetings at Adiala Jail are not under Imran's control.

During his media interaction, Gohar said Imran had reiterated the need for harmony between PTI and the armed forces. “The army is mine, and the country is mine,” Imran reportedly told him, also praising the military’s firm response to recent Indian aggression, which he said lifted national morale.

Gohar denied any PTI involvement in supporting an in-house change in government, stating the party is focused on national unity.

Nonetheless, PTI sources said the party is exploring the possibility of tabling no-confidence motions against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, with Imran reportedly authorizing opposition coordination for the move.

Despite the strategic discussions, Gohar insisted that media reports claiming a deal had been reached were "baseless and fake."

Separately, senior lawyer Salman Akram Raja also met Imran and confirmed his good health. Raja said the jailed leader emphasized internal unity, warning that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi might attempt another provocation and urging collective national focus on defence and economic recovery.

On the question of future protests, Raja said peaceful demonstrations remain the party’s right but that no final decision has been made.
