Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has ordered his party’s negotiating team to withdraw from further negotiations with the government if a judicial commission is not formed within seven days, according to lawyer Gohar.
Speaking to the media outside Adiala Prison, Gohar stressed that the establishment of the judicial commission is essential for meaningful dialogue.
“If the government does not move forward with the creation of the commission, there is no point in continuing negotiations,” he said.
Gohar also criticized Irfan Siddiqui, the spokesperson for the government’s negotiating committee, for delaying progress. “Siddiqui should not derail negotiations by turning minor issues into major controversies,” he said, adding that recent discussions have focused on law and order and should not be politicized.
The PTI insists that the judicial commission should ensure accountability and transparency. “Imran Khan made it clear that the fourth meeting would only take place if the committee is formed on time,” Gohar said, emphasizing the party’s commitment to negotiations but also its determination to hold the government accountable to its promises .
He accused the government of being nervous about the transparency requirement, calling it “Form 47 government”.
Gohar urged the ruling coalition to focus on dialogue in the interest of the country. “Successful negotiations mean success for Pakistan,” he said, calling for patience and mutual understanding in the process.
The PTI leader concluded by dismissing rumors about former US President Donald Trump’s official invitations for his inauguration, clarifying that these issues are resolved by his campaign committee and not through government channels.
