PTI Demands Judicial Commission Before Next Talks

PTI Demands Judicial Commission Before Next Talks

“It is simple, the commissions of inquiry used to be formed in the country under the relevant law,” PTI’s Secretary General said.

He said the next round of the dialogue will not happen if the government doesn’t announce the constitution of the judicial commission. “The government first announced the commission before the next sitting took place”, he said. “Details will be discussed later,” he said.

“We don’t have any hope from the Constitutional Bench,” he added.

The government’s negotiating committee with the PTI will hold a meeting today to discuss the opposition party’s demands.

The government’s team in an earlier sitting had reportedly decided against forming a judicial commission to probe the May 9 riots, sources said.

The next round of talks between the sides is scheduled for January 28.

Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah has 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”.

PML-N member Irfan Siddiqui has said that no decision has yet been made about the PTI’s demand for the constitution of a judicial commission. “We will give our reply in seven days,” he said.

The PTI handed over its written demands to the government during the third round of talks.
