Islamabad:
After the offer of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for dialogue, Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) leaders of Lahore have expressed their willingness to participate in political negotiations.
In an open letter addressed to the Government, high -level imprisoned leaders proposed a political dialogue to help bring the country out of its continuous constitutional and political crisis. However, they made it clear that there will be no talks without previous permission to meet the founder of PTI.
The letter, signed by the figures of PTI Senior, Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed, Dr. Yasmin Rashid, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Senator Ejaz Chaudhry and Umar Sarfraz Chema, emphasized that the country faces one of its worst political and constitutional crises, and that the comprehensive negotiations are the only way forward.
The leaders asked for dialogue not only at the political level but also involving state institutions to ensure that all interested parties can move forward with mutual confidence. They emphasized that political discussions should begin immediately and must include PTI leaders currently imprisoned in Lahore prisons.
A key point raised in the letter is that access to Imran Khan is essential before any negotiation committee or any completed decision can be formed. Without PTI’s president, they said, a significant or representative dialogue cannot take place.
The letter also insists that the unique access to Khan would not be enough. On the other hand, regular consultations must be guaranteed so that the leadership contribution remains continuous and the negotiation process remains effective and oriented to the results.

Development occurs when Prime Minister Shehbaz last week extended a formal invitation to the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) for direct conversations.
According to the sources, according to the reports, the exchange took place just before the emblematic decision of the Supreme Court on the reserved seats, during a session of the National Assembly when he approached the president of PTI, the lawyer Gohar Ali Khan, initiating a brief but significant conversation, including an ausel of hands.
The prime minister was summoned: “Let’s sit and talk: the negotiations are the solution to everything. I have said this before and I am saying it again: we must speak.” The lawyer Gohar responded succinctly with an optimistic, “Inshaallah” (if God wants).
