ISLAMABAD: The former ruling party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has demanded that a judicial commission be established in order to continue negotiations, but the federal government has not responded to the PTI’s charter of demands by January 28, the day the next round of talks is set to begin.
“As per the agreed communique, no response will be given before the seven-day deadline… we will respond to PTI’s demand for judicial commission at the next round of talks,” PML-N Senator Irfan Siddiqui, who served as the government negotiation committee’s spokesperson, stated in an interview with Geo News on Sunday.
The future of the talks, which are being facilitated by National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, is uncertain as the embattled former ruling party and PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar make contradictory remarks.
