Speaking from his jail cell, the former superstar cricketer had told the Guardian he would be willing to engage with army leadership
, senior military sources told the Guardian, after Khan said he would be willing to engage with the army leadership from his jail cell.
However, he said he would not rule out doing a deal with Pakistan’s powerful military establishment, despite previously accusing them of bringing down his government and being behind his incarceration. Behind the scenes, senior military leadership said that for the past few months Khan has been applying pressure for discussions with the military and had offered “unconditional” talks as he sought a deal to ensure his release.
The government has still yet to confirm if they intend to try Khan in a military rather than civilian court, for some of his alleged crimes which include everything from bribery to terrorism. He denies all charges.
