Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) President Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Friday that talking with the government has been put on hold by party founder Imran Khan because of the government’s failure to meet the party’s demands.
In a speech with the media in parliament, Gohar explained that PTI had set two specific requirements, but no action had been taken to establish legal commissions within the agreed seven-day timeframe.
“Imran Khan put the negotiations on wait, but the government could at least announce that the Commission is in the works,” he said while going to journalists.
He emphasized that seven days were sufficient to advertise the formation of the Commission.
Gohar declared that PTI may be considering the negotiations if the government goes on to form a commission to investigate the events on May 9 and November 26.
He added that Imran Khan had given a seven-day timeline for the message, which he claimed was sufficient to demonstrate the sincerity of the government.
“The lack of progress exposes their true intentions,” Gauhar said, repeating PTI’s willingness to participate in conversations with an open heart.
Yesterday, former Prime Minister Imran Khan gave negotiations with the government with reference to its lack of form to form a court commission within the agreed seven-day period.
The message was made by PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan after meeting Imran Khan in Rawalpindis Adiala prison, where the party’s founder has been detained for over a year.
In a speech with journalists, Barrister Gohar said: “The founder of PTI has categorically announced that no further negotiating rounds will take place. The government’s failure to follow from its obligations leaves no reason to continue the negotiations. “
The government and PTI had launched talks in late December to reduce political tensions and hold three sessions with little progress.
PTI’s requirements included to form two judicial commissions to investigate riots and events 9 May during protests in November 2024 and release political prisoners.
According to PTI, the legal commissions should consist of three senior judges from the Supreme Court or high courts, with the procedure open to the public and the media.
The government has criticized PTI’s “rigid attitude” with Rana Sanaullah, a help to the Prime Minister, where he said, “Negotiations are not a decree.” NA speaker Ayaz Sadiq also emphasized the need for compromise that warned that progress requires flexibility from both sides.
