ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has officially ended its backdoor communications with the Speaker of the National Assembly, Asad Qaiser, and the government committee, effectively withdrawing from ongoing discussions with Speaker Ayaz Sadiq. Previously, PTI leaders Barrister Gohar and Asad Qaiser had been engaged in private talks with Sadiq in an effort to resolve political tensions, but these negotiations have now been terminated.
According to sources, PTI had been pushing for the formation of a judicial commission to help facilitate future discussions, but these demands were not met. Despite PTI’s decision to pull out from the talks, Ayaz Sadiq has opted not to dissolve the government committee, suggesting that discussions on the matter may continue from the government’s side.
In a media interview, PTI Senator Ali Zafar stated, “The negotiations with the government are over. If the government wishes to continue public discourse on the issue, it is their choice.” Zafar clarified that PTI had not made any formal demands but added that, should the government provide any acknowledgment in writing, the matter could be revisited for further consultation within PTI’s leadership regarding the potential resumption of negotiations.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the National Assembly clarified that Speaker Ayaz Sadiq had not extended any formal invitations for negotiations to PTI. The spokesperson emphasized that while Sadiq had expressed his openness to dialogue, no official invitation had been made. It was also highlighted that the Speaker’s role remains neutral, and any formal discussions would be initiated only upon a direct request from either the government or the opposition.
