The PTI has some grievances that need to be addressed, including the release of its top leadership and workers. But its leadership also has to show some flexibility. The PTI leadership must publicly acknowledge that its anti-state rhetoric culminated in the infamous May 9 violence.
There is also no surety that after release, the PTI will sit in the assemblies and not take to the streets to destabilize the current setup, bringing the economy to a standstill.
