The Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, has called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to form a committee for dialogue with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to ease the mounting tension between the two. Abbas made this demand while addressing journalists at the Parliament House on Monday. He emphasized that settling disputes on the dialogue table is the key to resolving conflicts.
Asking for the participation of the leadership from the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N), Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and other political parties, Abbas stressed that they must sit together to find a solution. The senator acknowledged that a recent meeting with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi regarding the dialogue with PTI was inconclusive, but he maintained that the dialogue process needs more time.
Abbas insisted on forming teams with empowered individuals who can steer the country out of the crisis. When reporters asked about the "voluntary" arrests of PTI lawmakers ahead of the long march, Abbas questioned the legality of the arrests, questioning the authority of those who conducted them.
