Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday reiterated his rejection of the existence of any likelihood of an alliance with Pakistan People's Party (PPP).

According to the Express Tribune, the cricketer-turned-politician, while speaking to the media informally, said, "Forming an alliance with Bilawal Bhutto entails conciliation with Asif Zardari which is not possible."

"If Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif bring back the billions of rupees they have hidden overseas then they will have my forgiveness," Khan added.

The comments came as the PTI chief invited Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) parliamentarian Chaudhry Nisar to join his [PTI] party.

"We could even support Nisar if he runs as an independent candidate in the upcoming general elections," Khan said.

Last month in January, Bilawal criticised Khan, saying that the former will teach politics to the latter.
