Seeking an end to the deadlock on the negotiations with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Adviser to Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs Rana Sanaullah Sunday said the current situation was not appropriate for all the political stakeholders.
Talking in a media programme, Sanaullah said the matter of negotiations has been in a blind alley since 2014. He added that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) twice sought to hold talks during the PTI tenure.
He said PTI founder Imran Khan’s stance of not talking to politicians was the main reason behind the current impasse.
Referring to the PTI stance of holding talks with the military establishment, he said the armed forces’ spokesperson and director general of Inter-Services Public Relations had said that the politicians should talk with each other as there was no point of talking to the military.
The PM’s adviser said the PTI founder in this way was inflicting damage upon himself, the party and country. Khan wanted to bring revolution through talk shows, he added.
“The deadlock should end. There is no ego or obstinacy on our part. It is from the other side,” he said, adding that when his party spoke about holding talks, the other side called them names.
