Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has ordered his party’s negotiating team to withdraw from future talks with the government if a judicial commission is not formed within seven days, according to Barrister. Gohar.
Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail, Gohar emphasized that the establishment of the judicial commission is essential for meaningful dialogue.
“If the government does not move forward in forming the commission, there is no point in continuing negotiations,” he said.
Gohar also criticized Irfan Siddiqui, spokesman for the government negotiating committee, for delaying progress. “Siddiqui should not derail talks by turning minor issues into major controversies,” he said, adding that recent discussions focused on law and order and should not be politicized.
The PTI insists that the judicial commission ensure accountability and transparency. “Imran Khan has made it clear that the fourth meeting will take place only if the commission is formed within the deadline,” Gohar said, highlighting the party’s commitment to the negotiations but also its determination to hold the government accountable to its promises.
He accused the government of being uncomfortable with the demand for transparency, referring to it as the “Form 47 government.”
Gohar urged the ruling coalition to focus on dialogue for the benefit of the country. “Successful negotiations mean success for Pakistan,” he said, calling for patience and mutual understanding in the process.
The PTI leader concluded by dismissing rumors about former US President Donald Trump’s official invitations for his inauguration, clarifying that such matters are determined by his campaign committee and not through government channels.
