The ongoing talks between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the government remain at an impasse after two rounds of discussions.
The deadlock is attributed to PTI’s failure to meet their incarcerated leader, Imran Khan, and present their written demands. National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq has yet to schedule a third round of negotiations, with neither side requesting a meeting.
PTI’s negotiator, Asad Qaiser, claims verbal demands made in the earlier talks should be treated as official, but the government insists on formal written documentation.
PTI is pressing for an early resolution and has set a January 31 deadline for negotiations, though the government urges extending the timeline until February 28.
