PPP Ready to Engage with Imran Khan if He Shows Flexibility,
If Imran is ready to talk then that’s a positive thing: Khurshid Shah
Quetta(Ghulam Yaseen);PPP Ready to Engage with Imran Khan if He Shows Flexibility, Senior Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Khurshid Shah has expressed willingness to facilitate dialogue between the PPP and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) if PTI founder Imran Khan is ready to engage in talks. Shah’s statement comes amidst rumors that Imran Khan is open to negotiations.
Speaking to media in Quetta, Shah said, “It is being said that the PTI founder is ready to talk. If [Imran] Khan is ready to talk, then that’s a positive thing.” He emphasized that President Asif Ali Zardari has always preferred resolving issues through negotiations, and the PPP would play its role if needed in this regard.
Shah’s statement suggests a potential shift in the PPP’s stance towards the PTI, which has been marked by tensions and rivalry in recent times. The PPP’s willingness to engage in dialogue could pave the way for a more constructive political environment in Pakistan.
However, it remains to be seen whether Imran Khan will reciprocate the PPP’s offer and engage in meaningful talks. The development comes as Pakistan faces numerous challenges, including political instability, economic woes, and social unrest.
The PPP’s move is seen as an attempt to find common ground with the PTI and work towards a more collaborative approach to addressing the country’s pressing issues. Only time will tell if this initiative will bear fruit and lead to a more harmonious political landscape in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the government too has called on the Khan-founded party to come to the table and hold talks.
Govt Makes Fresh Attempt to End Political Deadlock
A day earlier, addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Federal Minister for Petroleum Dr Musadik Malik said: “If you want to remove us then do it. You don’t want to resolve issues but to further complicate them. You should do talks instead of destroying everything.”
Continuing on the prospects of talks, Shah said that it’s a good thing if Khan feels and accepts that politicians need to sit together.
