Rana Sanaullah renews govt’s dialogue offer to PTI

FAISALABAD
Advisor to Prime Minister and PML-N Senator Rana Sanaullah on Sunday renewed the government’s offer to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for dialogue, insisting that political consensus remains the only path to easing the country’s prolonged instability.
Talking to media in Faisalabad’s PP-116 constituency — where his son-in-law Ran Ahmed Shaharyar is contesting on a PML-N ticket — Sanaullah said that his party still believes in politicians sitting together to resolve national challenges.
He reiterated Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s earlier unconditional invitation to all parties to join the proposed “Misaq-i-Istehkam-i-Pakistan” (Charter for Stability), a framework the government says is aimed at political and economic stability.
Dialogue only way to resolve political issues: Sanaullah
Commenting on the PTI’s decision to boycott most of Sunday’s by-elections, Sanaullah criticised party founder Imran Khan, saying he had never pursued real politics and accusing him of repeatedly creating deadlock rather than engaging in dialogue.
He pointed to earlier episodes of unrest, including the events of May 9 and November 26, and alleged that Imran Khan was attempting to spread chaos from jail.
Talking about the by-election in PP-116, Sanaullah said that polling had remained smooth, adding that no complaint had been received from the constituency.
He dismissed claims of rigging in other areas, asserting that PML-N was contesting on the basis of service, progress and solutions.
