‘Prefer remaining in jail for nine more years’: Imran Khan rules out negotiations

Rejecting the possibility of reaching an agreement, ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan declared his willingness to face another nine years in prison rather than enter into negotiations with what he labeled as the entities that have "enslaved" the nation. Khan emphasized the imposition of what he deemed the "worst dictatorship" on the country in his statement, cautioning against its adverse impacts on the economy, governance, democracy and the judiciary.
