\nThe Speaker of the National Assembly, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, has called a meeting of negotiation committees representing the government and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for Thursday at 11:30 am in Parliament.
\nAccording to a statement from the speaker\u2019s office, the meeting will take place in Committee Room 5 and will be held in-camera. PTI is expected to present its written demands during the session.
\nThe meeting date was revised from January 15 to January 16 following requests from committee members. \u201cThe change was made after consultations with members of both sides,\u201d said Speaker Ayaz Sadiq.
\nSources confirm that contact between the government and PTI resumed recently. Former speaker Asad Qaiser reportedly discussed the negotiation process with Ayaz Sadiq via phone, agreeing on a date for the upcoming meeting.
\nThis marks the first formal interaction between PTI representatives and the speaker after consultations with PTI\u2019s leadership, including its founder.
\nThe speaker facilitated PTI\u2019s delegation in meeting party chief Imran Khan at Adiala Jail to discuss negotiation strategies. PTI\u2019s committee spokesperson, Sahibzada Hamid Raza, emphasised that the party demands a judicial inquiry into the May 9 and November 26 incidents.
\n\u201cWe have given the government until January 31 to announce the inquiry. Failing this, negotiations may come to an end,\u201d he warned.
\nThe negotiation process marks an effort to resolve ongoing political tensions, with both parties previously holding two rounds of talks without any significant breakthrough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
