The PTI founder, Imran Khan, has taken a U-turn and given the go-ahead for dialogue with the government to end the current political impasse. This decision comes after the Supreme Court suggested talks to resolve issues in parliament during a hearing of the NAB amendments case. PTI leader Gohar Ali Khan confirmed that Imran Khan has approved the talks and stated that allies would be consulted, although the party could also negotiate independently.
Imran Khan’s willingness to engage in dialogue with political parties is seen as an effort to bridge differences for the greater good of the country. Additionally, PTI released an audio clip purportedly from Imran Khan’s appearance in the Supreme Court, discussing the NAB chairman appointment and a “third umpire.” The authenticity of the audio remains unverified.
The PTI also criticized any unilateral changes in Pakistan’s India policy while emphasizing the importance of maintaining a consistent stance towards India. The party’s decision to pursue negotiations is viewed as a strategic move rather than a sign of weakness.
