ISLAMABAD<\/strong>: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday urged the PTI to end its long march to Islamabad and invited the opposition to sit with the government to resolve contentious issues through political dialogue.<\/p>\n

The opposition has gone ahead with its march despite warnings from the Centre, which has vowed to prevent any gatherings in Islamabad. The protest aims to demand the release of jailed party founder and former prime minister Imran Khan.<\/p>\n

Addressing the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kashmir Chowk underpass in Islamabad on Tuesday, the premier said it was \u201cunfortunate\u201d that the \u201cdreadful shadows\u201d of long marches were hovering again, despite the PML-N and the PPP making efforts to engage the PTI in talks.<\/p>\n

The two parties, the prime minister said, held talks for two days in National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq\u2019s chamber, and \u201cit was hoped that politics of confrontation would end\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, that did not happen. They [PTI] only had one purpose: to ensure that the talks do not succeed,\u201d the premier said, adding that the opposition party demanded changes to things already settled upon.<\/p>\n

PM Shehbaz asserted that these protests and long marches affected the country\u2019s economy and created hindrances in exports, imports and manufacturing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe collectively improved the economy in 2.5 years and reached macroeconomic stability. Now is the time for it to flourish,\u201d the premier added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn September, our information technology exports, remittances and the country\u2019s production improved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone harms it, is it not equivalent to being an enemy of the country?\u201d<\/p>\n

The premier stressed that putting the economy in shambles and the lives of people in danger will not be allowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe law will take its course,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will still say: come to your senses. Will your actions harm the country or benefit it? \u2026 End your long march and protests. When you end them, we will surely sit down with you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the same ceremony, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said, without naming anyone, that people had to see for themselves which public representatives were working for their welfare and which ones were engaging in \u201cnegative politics\u201d.<\/p>\n

Responding to the premier\u2019s remarks, PTI interim chairman Barrister Gohar Khan said that talks remained \u201climited to offers\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo positive step gets taken and it is a matter of great concern for us,\u201d he said while speaking to reporters outside Adiala jail.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that it had been almost a year since the party\u2019s last meeting with Imran on Oct 16, 2025, calling this \u201cinhumane\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also criticised that Imran was being denied meetings with his doctors, family, lawyers, and party, saying: \u201cWe did not want to sit for a photo session together with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gohar added that the party had always stood with the state and put Pakistan first, yet they were still not granted access to their leader.<\/p>\n

Tallal says talks conditional on PTI calling off march<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Separately, Minister of State for Interior Tallal Chaudhry also spoke about the resumption of talks, saying that it remained conditional upon PTI calling off its marches and protests.<\/p>\n

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, he warned that constitutional and political measures were in place to respond to the PTI\u2019s ongoing long march and held Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi responsible for the breakdown in negotiations.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolitical and constitutional measures are in place,\u201d Chaudhry said.<\/p>\n

He added that the \u201cwise\u201d people part of the PTI\u2019s delegation had tried to make the talks successful. Chaudhry further said that if the talks had succeeded, Pakistan would have had a united political front and the PTI would have gained \u201cpolitical space\u201d. He added that a \u201chardening of the state\u201d was now close, stressing that \u201cenough softness has been shown\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state is like a mother, but it also has to act like a father at times,\u201d Chaudhry said.<\/p>\n

\u201cConstitutional options are under discussion, but the political option comes first,\u201d he said. Commenting on the talks, Chaudhry told reporters that on the first day, Naqvi presented the government\u2019s position regarding terrorism in KP, which included facts about the provincial government\u2019s lack of involvement in the province\u2019s affairs, budget and counterterrorism efforts.<\/p>\n

Chaudhry said the next day, the PTI delegation returned to Islamabad to continue talks after discussing the terms of the agreement with KP\u2019s senior leadership in Peshawar.<\/p>\n

He said CM Afridi had previously reassured the Centre that the PTI delegation had the authority to reach an agreement on behalf of the provincial government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were assured that on terrorism, they [PTI] agreed 100 per cent on the federal government\u2019s points,\u201d Chaudhry said, adding that it was only then that Naqvi travelled to Lahore to PM Shehbaz and informed him that the PTI and the PML-N had agreed on the terrorism issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prime minister said, \u2018give as much political space as you can\u2019,\u201d Chaudhry told the media.<\/p>\n

According to him, PM Shehbaz told Naqvi that \u201cparties\u2019 political capital comes and goes\u201d. Chaudhry said the premier further told Naqvi that when Pakistan was on the brink of financial default, strict measures reduced PML-N\u2019s political capital, but they ensured that the country would not default.<\/p>\n

The second day of the talks started after the two sides had agreed on the issue of terrorism, Chaudhry said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe win for us in the draft agreement was that we would be successful in bringing the PTI to the same page for eliminating terrorism,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The draft was ready by 9pm on the second day of the talks, and Naqvi was getting ready to take it to President Asif Ali Zardari, according to the state minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything was fine,\u201d he said, adding that some back and forth happened on further edits, but they were all agreed upon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the last minute, the opposition sat in a separate room for a while to consult with the KP chief minister. When they came out, they couldn\u2019t look us in the eye and asked for permission to leave,\u201d Chaudhry said. He added that the PTI delegation thanked the PML-N for patiently conducting the talks.<\/p>\n

The nation had agreed on the two National Action Plans (NAP) against terrorism, Chaudhry said, adding that the second plan was agreed upon during the PTI\u2019s government under former prime minister Imran. He said that NAP was linked to \u201cPakistan\u2019s Constitution, its needs, security, stability and Islamic teachings\u201d.<\/p>\n

Citing Afridi\u2019s statement that he wouldn\u2019t allow a plan against the people of KP, Chaudhry questioned if Imran\u2019s NAP was against the people of the province.<\/p>\n

Chaudhry claimed that KP was unsafe for common people and politicians alike; however, he noted that at the same time, the PTI\u2019s leaders and workers were safe from threats in the same region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only one safe there is PTI,\u201d he said, questioning, \u201cWhy do [terrorists] have a soft corner for you only?\u201d<\/p>\n

On the possibility of talks resuming, Chaudhry said that any further talks were conditional upon the PTI calling off its marches and protests.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t encourage terrorists. Instead, let\u2019s kill them together,\u201d Chaudhry further stated.<\/p>\n

Opp-govt dialogue failure<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Over the weekend, the government and opposition held two rounds of talks, which did not yield positive results, with counterterrorism policies and access to Imran emerging as two major sticking points.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the PTI said it wanted immediate access to party chief Imran for consultations, and even agreed to forgo other demands in return for a meeting with Imran. However, the government declined to make access to Imran part of the proposed agreement, the opposition party claimed.<\/p>\n

Another deadlock was terrorism in KP. The federal government asked the KP government to support its counterterrorism measures and support emergency measures within 72 hours in the merged tribal districts, the PTI said.<\/p>\n

Instead, the PTI proposed that authorised representatives of the federal and KP governments meet within 72 hours to develop a clear, comprehensive and mutually agreed strategy for peace and counterterrorism, the statement added. The PTI said the health and medical treatment of Imran Khan was also raised as a matter of fundamental importance.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, PTI leader Salman Akram Raja, who was a part of the opposition\u2019s delegation, said the primary reason for the failure was disagreement on anti-terrorism actions in KP.<\/p>\n

Raja said the opposition stood firm on its principled position that anti-terrorism actions should be based on an agreement between the federal government and the KP government, and would be framed in consultation with stakeholders.<\/p>\n

After talks between the government and the opposition ended without headway, interior minister Naqvi on Sunday accused CM Afridi of \u201csabotaging\u201d negotiations.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Naqvi also held a meeting with KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi to discuss the political and security situation amid speculations of \u2018imminent\u2019 governor\u2019s rule in the province. A government source told that the government was seriously considering the imposition of the governor\u2019s rule in KP.<\/p>\n

But Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah said on Monday that a return to negotiations was possible if there was an assurance of positive progress by the opposition regarding counterterrorism efforts in KP.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Geo News<\/em>\u2019 programme \u2018Capital Talk\u2019, he said that the federal government aimed to end terrorism in Pakistan, protect its borders and keep people safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe provincial government will have to play its role at any cost in this policy and operation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He said that both sides were still in contact, and said that if \u201cbetter sense prevails\u201d amongst the opposition and they could provide \u201cassurance of some positive progress\u201d in this regard, then they could sit down for more talks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
