The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan regarding his party being "under pressure" and their failed meeting plans in Islamabad for talks on government formation following the February 8 general elections. After the polls, the two parties were reportedly mulling to unite with PTI's successful independent candidates looking to join other parties in the parliament, so that they could jointly form a government in the provinces and Centre where they could have possessed a majority number of parliamentarians. Gohar, however, claimed that the JI was "under pressure" not to talk to PTI on the said matter and the party's leadership was avoiding meetings with him.
