ISLAMABAD: PTI on Wednesday finally agreed to sit with the government to resolve their differences, provided incarcerated PTI founder and former prime minister Imran Khan is released from jail.
Previously, the party and its founder repeatedly refused to engage in dialogue, referring to the incumbent government as “thieves and dacoits” in public statements.
“Let us sit together to jointly resolve our problems in an atmosphere in which Imran Khan is released from jail and Mian Sahib (PML-N President Nawaz Sharif) also comes forward for dialogue,” PTI MNA Ali Muhammad Khan said on the floor of the National Assembly on Wednesday.
He said the NA opposition leader, Mehmood Achakzai, confirmed he had received an invitation from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
