Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has set up a government committee to initiate talks with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party after ba Sardar Ayaz Sadiq proposed it during a session of Parliament.
The committee members include Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, Senator Irfan Siddiqui, Raja Pervez Ashraf, Syed Naveed Qamar, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, Abdul Aleem Khan, and Chaudhry Salik Hussain. This step comes as a result of a plea by PTI’s Barrister Gohar to Speaker Sadiq to mediate between the two sides.
