PM Shehbaz invites Achakzai for 'direct talks' as opposition extends long march
https://www.dawn.com/news/2032698
ISLAMABAD witnessed a significant development as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif extended an invitation to Mehmood Achakzai, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, for direct talks. This move came shortly after the opposition announced its decision to prolong the long march, raising concerns about political stability in the country.
Despite PM Shehbaz's extended invitation, no response has been received from the opposition leader as of yet. A PTI spokesman confirmed that Achakzai had received the invitation, but no further updates were available. Prior to this recent invitation, PM Shehbaz had also invited Achakzai on September 11 for mandatory consultation on the appointment of a new chief election commissioner (CEC).
Currently in the United States attending the UN General Assembly, the Prime Minister is expected to return to Islamabad within days.
