On Saturday, a second round of talks between the government and the opposition took place at Parliament House, aimed at addressing various issues that have fueled the ongoing political crisis. The meeting, chaired by National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, lasted over four hours and was attended by key figures from both sides. However, neither side agreed to speak to the media before the outcome of the discussions was finalized.
The government delegation, including Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, was seen departing Parliament House with a document in hand, potentially leading to a consultation with the President. The talks were focused on resolving the persistent dispute over the planned October 4 protest march led by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) to demand the release of party founder Imran Khan, a matter that has become the latest point of contention between the opposition and the federal government.
