Govt Negotiation Committee Evaluates PTI's Demands; No Conclusion on Judicial Commission

The ongoing negotiations between the government and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have seen the government negotiation committee review the demands presented by the opposition, including issues related to the May 9 and November 26 incidents. However, the committee has yet to reach a final decision regarding the formation of the judicial commission to investigate these events.

Key Discussions and Updates

During a recent meeting of the government negotiation committee, Senator Irfan Siddiqui, the committee’s spokesperson, stated that PTI would provide a detailed response to the demands made by the judicial commission within 7 days. The committee, which convened under the chairmanship of Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, reviewed PTI’s written demands in detail.

Despite the discussions, no concrete decision was made about the establishment of the judicial commission, with consultations still ongoing. Senator Siddiqui emphasized that the committee’s meetings would continue, and a response would be given after completing the 7-day period.

Legal Committee and Subcommittee Developments

Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar briefed the committee on each point of PTI's demands. Dr. Farooq Sattar, a member of the committee, mentioned that it was important not to disclose details prematurely in the media to ensure productive negotiations.

PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah spoke after the meeting, revealing that a subcommittee had been formed to review PTI's demands. The subcommittee would prepare a response to PTI's demands ahead of the next round of talks.

PTI’s Stance on Judicial Commission

PTI, led by Imran Khan, has made it clear that a judicial commission must be formed to address the incidents of May 9 and November 26. Barrister Gohar, a PTI representative, stated that if the commission is not established within 7 days, PTI would not participate in the next round of talks. Imran Khan emphasized the importance of continuing the dialogue, but under the condition that the commission is formed promptly.

Conclusion

The negotiation process remains in flux, with both sides preparing for further meetings. While the government is actively reviewing the situation, the establishment of the judicial commission is a key point of contention. PTI continues to insist on the formation of the commission, and the government’s response in the coming days will likely determine the next steps in the negotiations.
