The assistant of the Prime Minister on political and public matters, Rana Sanaullah, has dismissed speculation about the “back door conversations in progress” that involve Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) and the establishment. He affirmed that no dialogue would occur with the former ruling party through unofficial channels.
Early in the day, lawyer Gohar Ali Khan said that PTI was not involved in dialogue with any other entity. Speaking to a local television news channel on Tuesday, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) criticized PTI for skipping the fourth round of formal conversations.
“Political problems can only be solved through the official dialog table, which they [PTI] Abandoned today, “said Sanaullah.
PTI boycotó the fourth session scheduled for Tuesday, citing the failure of the government to establish judicial commissions to investigate on May 9, 2023, disturbances and on November 26, 2024, Islamabad Protest Protest.
The PML-N leader criticized PTI’s political approach during the last decade, accusing the party to damage the country’s political landscape. In addition, he declared that PTI lost the opportunity to receive the government’s response by jumping the negotiations.
Referring to PTI’s demands of a judicial commission, he commented: “No judge would like to join said commission given the current circumstances.”
In response to PTI warnings of street protests, Sanullah emphasized that any demonstration would be fulfilled with legal actions. “In a democratic system, problems are solved at the negotiating table, not in the streets,” he said.
