ISLAMABAD – Incarcerated Prime Minister Imran Khan has decided to soften his stance and directed his party leaders to engage with contacts both within and outside Parliament to ease the ongoing political tensions.
Reports in local media claimed that PTI leadership will start talks with various political parties outside Parliament, while its lawmakers will also improve relations with parties in the ruling alliance.
