Imran tasks Alvi with ‘important job’

ISLAMABAD: As the PTI seemingly failed to draw out large crowds across the country to mark the first anniversary of the May 9 violence, former president and party leader Arif Alvi was given an “important responsibility” by party chief Imran Khan to “resolve things” through dialogue apparently with the powers that be.

The PTI did not share details of the ‘important’ task Mr Alvi was assigned, but the former president had made several attempts to bridge the chasm between Imran Khan and the military establishment during his stint as the head of the state., according to Dawn Newspaper.

In his media talk, the former president said dialogue would have to be held. He, however, claimed that the political parties, part of the ruling coalition, had “no actual power”.

According to Mr Alvi, he had tried to resolve things in the past and even now he was trying to do the same for the sake of the country.
