Islamabad(Urdu Times): PM Shehbaz urged to extend olive branch to jailed Imran Khan, mend ties with India

PM Shehbaz urged to extend olive branch to jailed Imran Khan, mend ties with India
A top business leader of the country has urged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to extend an olive branch to his political rival incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan.

The development comes as the premier during his day-long visit to Karachi addressed the business community and listened to their suggestions and queries related to trade and economy.

During a Q&A session, business tycoon Arif Habib appreciated PM Shehbaz’s efforts during his previous stint in securing the bailout package from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Referring to his meeting with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in June last year, the owner of top brokerage firm suggested the prime minister to “shake two more hands” — one with the neighbouring country including India and another with the PTI founder in a bid to ensure stability in the country.

“[…] secondly, you should also shake hand with an inmate of Adiala jail. I think these two steps will yield positive results,” he remarked.
