Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has offered talks to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on the condition that they stop their protests. According to Daily Times, he said the government would engage with PTI after it stops marches and sit-ins.
The offer comes as the government stresses the need to protect economic stability. Business Recorder reports that Shehbaz warned that protests and road blockades could disrupt economic activity and affect the country’s recent economic gains. He cited growth in exports, IT exports, and remittances in September.
Shehbaz highlighted that the PML-N and PPP joint committees had decided to hold talks with the PTI leadership to end the long marches and resolve differences through mutual agreement, but unfortunately, it did not materialize due to the opposition's last-minute demands for changes to the draft.
