Negotiations between the government and the opposition in Islamabad concluded in a deadlock on Sunday after several hours of talks. The meeting, which began on Saturday afternoon, focused on the planned PTI march to Islamabad on October 4th. Both sides refrained from speaking to the media before the discussions concluded, with opposition leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas stating that the talks had reached a "deadlock".
He mentioned that the points of contention were "small" and included issues related to meetings with PTI founder Imran Khan and addressing terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. However, interim PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Khan assured that the party's long march would still proceed. The government delegation comprised Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and other ministers, while the opposition included Senate leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, PTI interim chairman Gohar Ali Khan, and other members.
The talks aimed to defuse the ongoing political crisis in the country, with the PTI march to Islamabad being the latest point of contention.
