PTI Boycotts Talks Demands Judicial Commission
Head of the PTI’s negotiating committee, Omar Ayub, has said that his party will not attend the fourth round of dialogue with the government until the formation of the judicial commission.
Chairman PTI Barrister Gohar has said that the opposition party will attend the next round of talks if the government affirms the formation of the commission.
Sahibzada Hamid Raza, a member of the PTI’s negotiating team has also demanded that the government announce the judicial commission, after which a meeting could decide the terms of reference (ToRs) of the commission.
The PTI presented its demands during the third round of negotiations and called for the establishment of two Commissions of Inquiry. The first is to investigate the events of May 9 and the legality of PTI’s chairman’s arrest, while the second examines incidents occurring between November 24 and 27, 2024 during the PTI’s protest in Islamabad.
Meanwhile, the government’s negotiating committee’s spokesman Irfan Siddiqui has said that the government will give its response to the demand of the judicial commission on January 28, scheduled for the next round of talks with the PTI.
Irfan Siddiqui has said that no decision has yet been made about the PTI’s demand for the constitution of a judicial commission. “Our consultation has been ongoing in which several issues will be considered”.
Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah earlier said that the government will present its stance over the PTI’s demands in the next session of the dialogue. “A sub-committee will review the demands of the PTI to prepare a reply”.
