Rana Sanaullah Criticizes PTI's Approach Amidst Anti-Government Movement
The PTI's plans for a 90-day protest and a nationwide movement on August 5 have raised concerns about the potential for destabilization, and Rana Sanaullah's warnings suggest that the government is taking a tough stance against the party. The outcome of this situation will depend on the PTI's ability to navigate its internal divisions and clarify its intentions, as well as the government's response to the party's demands.

Prime Minister's Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah has criticized the PTI for seeking dialogue with the establishment instead of talking with politicians, suggesting the party wants to destabilize the country. This comes as the PTI is gearing up to launch an anti-government movement from next month, with its leadership divided on the approach.
The PTI's top leadership is visiting Lahore to formally launch a nationwide protest, which will reach its crescendo on August 5, marking two years since Imran Khan's arrest. However, Rana Sanaullah believes that the PTI's agenda has been destabilization from the beginning, citing their demonstration outside the IMF against the granting of an emergency to Pakistan. He also warned that if the PTI takes the law into their own hands, the law will take its due course.
The PTI's second-tier leadership is split into two factions, and Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur's actions are seen as wayward, sparking resentment among party members. Former PM Imran Khan is refusing to engage in talks, while some party leaders are secretly negotiating a deal. The party needs to win back street power, clarify its intentions, and establish clear minimum terms of engagement to succeed in its agitation.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the PTI's anti-government movement will play out, and whether the party will be able to achieve its goals. Rana Sanaullah's criticism of the PTI's approach has added fuel to the fire, and it is likely that the situation will continue to escalate in the coming days.
