Rana Sanaullah, PML-N Punjab President, emphasized the need for the PTI to adopt a more “serious approach” to political dialogue, citing “inconsistencies” in the party’s statements.
Speaking to a private TV channel, the PML-N leader urged all political parties to come together to navigate the country through its current political and economic challenges.
Responding to whether the PML-N planned to establish a body for talks with other political parties, particularly the PTI, Sanaullah stated, “Absolutely, we, as a political party, and I, as a political worker, believe that dialogue is currently the solution to the political situation facing the country.”
Sanaullah pointed out the PTI’s “conflicting” statements regarding talks with the government. “One day, they express willingness for talks, and the next day, another leader says otherwise. If there is seriousness shown from their side, then certainly, dialogue between political parties should take place,” he remarked.
Last month, during a Senate session, PML-N Senator Irfan Siddiqui extended an invitation to the PTI for talks on the directive of the party leadership. On the same day, PTI leader Shehryar Afridi expressed intentions to engage in discussions with the establishment.
However, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan later clarified that the party was not currently engaged in “backdoor talks” with anyone. Gohar’s statement came shortly after reports emerged that the imprisoned founding party founder, Imran Khan, had approved negotiations with the establishment and political forces.
