Islamabad: Amid swirling rumors of a possible deal between the main opposition party and the ruling powers, senior PTI leaders insist they have not ruled out discussions, despite no fresh developments yet. According to insiders, the government has reportedly approached a PTI senator with a proposal for a meeting in Parliament House, potentially involving Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
In response, the PTI's parliamentary party is set to convene on Monday to strategize their approach. Reports suggest that the party received a message from the government, with a meeting possibly occurring at the Constitution Room in Parliament House, where the prime minister would be present. A senior PTI source confirmed that a senator had spoken to MNA Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, who claimed to be in conversation with the prime minister and Rana Sanaullah about holding negotiations with the party.
However, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram dismissed these reports as purely speculative, emphasizing that the party remains steadfast and open to talks if the government decides to proceed.
