Islamabad:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaf (PTI) has once again started to weigh the possibility of entering negotiations with the government-potentially even without the explicit consent of the founder of the Imran Khan party, sources revealed on Wednesday.
According to initiates, this decision aims mainly to ensure the release of Khan and to address a multitude of legal cases pending against him.
Some PTI parliamentarians have proposed a re -engagement with members of the ruling coalition, which suggests that talks could take place independently of Khan’s approval, although the consensus off the parties remains in favor of formal negotiations.
The case is expected to surface during the next session of the National Assembly, the government team probably includes the president of the National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq, Rana Sanaullah, Naveed Qamar and Raja Pervaiz Ashraf. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif previously extended an offer of talks to the PTI.
A senior PTI official, asking for anonymity, argued that political disputes could only be resolved by dialogue, warning that “resignations or boycotts will not solve the crisis”.
He also claimed that some within the party did not fully appear Khan of earthly realities, which, according to him, knew the efforts of reconciliation.
Sources have stressed that “serious negotiations with the government are crucial” not only for the release of Khan, but also to meet the wider political challenges of the party.
