The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has signaled a conditional willingness to resume negotiations with the government, provided a commission is announced by the authorities.
Speaking to the media upon arrival at the Parliament House, PTI leader Barrister Gohar Ali Khan stated that although the party had initially engaged in talks with an open mind and only made two demands regarding the commission, there had been no progress. He emphasized that even seven days should have been enough for the government to announce the commission, but no significant steps had been taken.
He further added, “We are willing to reconsider talks, but the government must first announce the commission.”
Barrister Gohar’s comments follow a previous statement by PTI Chairman Imran Khan, who declared that the party would end negotiations with the government, and there would be no fourth round of talks.
In response to PTI’s stance, Senator Irfan Siddiqui, spokesperson for the government’s committee, expressed disappointment, pointing out that it had taken PTI 42 days to present their demands, yet they were now asking for a response within seven days. Siddiqui described PTI’s decision to halt negotiations as regrettable.
