Imran acknowledged occasional mistakes by his workers amid rising criticism, but insisted that the Samajwadi Party alliance will not signal a retreat and affirmed his intent to contest the upcoming election.
Imran addressed the growing uproar over recent incidents involving his party workers, conceding that errors sometimes occur but emphasizing that such lapses do not reflect the party's overall discipline. He said the mistakes were isolated and that corrective measures would be taken to prevent recurrence.
The leader further clarified that the alliance with the Samajwadi Party (SP) should not be interpreted as a sign of surrender or weakening of his political stance. He stressed that the partnership is strategic, aimed at consolidating support while maintaining his party's independent identity.
Despite the criticism, Imran reaffirmed his commitment to contest the upcoming polls, stating that his campaign will proceed across the remaining constituencies. He urged supporters to focus on the broader agenda rather than isolated incidents.
The statements were made during a press briefing, where Imran also called for calm among his cadres and appealed to voters to judge the party based on its policies and performance.
Analysts note that the remarks aim to mitigate the negative fallout from the workers' missteps while reinforcing the party's resolve ahead of the election cycle.
