A top leader of jailed ex-prime minister Imran Khan’s party has said that his party would merge with the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) if the election commission accepted its recent intra-party polls and returned its iconic poll symbol, a media report said on Friday.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Qaiser said if the party got back its cricket bat electoral symbol after the recent organisational polls, then both parties would merge and “remain as PTI”.
