On Saturday night, talks between the government and opposition continued past midnight at Parliament House in Islamabad, focusing on the planned Oct 4 march to Islamabad by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to demand the release of party founder Imran Khan. With both sides agreeing to avoid media statements before finalizing the outcome, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi was seen leaving the parliament building with a document in his hand, only to return an hour later without commenting to the press.
The meeting, chaired by National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, aimed to de-escalate the ongoing political crisis. The PTI's planned march has emerged as the latest point of contention between the party and the federal government. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, who remains steadfast in proceeding with the march, detailed the itinerary on X, specifying the journey and joining points across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
