RAWALPINDI: Amid prevailing uncertainty surrounding the ongoing dialogue between the government and the Pakistan Thereek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan has given the greenlight to his party for continuing the talks and submit written their written demands. "PTI founder has directed to continue the talks and has given permission to submit [party's] both demands in writing to the government committee," said PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan while speaking to the media outside the Adiala jail. The development comes as the PTI leaders — comprising Barrister Gohar, Ali Zafar and Sher Afzal Marwat — met the former prime minister in a courtroom at Rawalpindi's Adiala facility. The development arguably diminishes the ambiguity surrounding the future of the ongoing PTI-government talks, which in recent days, have been marred by uncertainty owing to the former ruling party's inability to meet its incarcerated founded and present its written demands. For days, the PTI has been claiming that they were not being allowed to meet Khan by Adiala jail authorities and has linked the prospects of presenting a written charter of demand with it. The two sides, after months of a political tug-of-war, have held two negotiation sessions on December 27, 2024 and on January 2, 2025. However, PTI's inability to submit written demands and meet Khan ended up casting doubt on the future of talks as it resulted in a deadlock with the government which has insisted on the former. During the last meeting between the government and the PTI's negotiation committees, the two sides had decided that the Khan-founded party would present its charter of demands in the next session after meeting the jailed prime minister. Also, it was decided that the third round of talks would be summoned after the PTI committee had met Khan. The former ruling party has time again reiterated its call for the release of its founder and workers and the formation of a judicial commission on the events of the May 9 riots and last year's November 26 protests. Speaking on the future of parleys with the government, Barrister Gohar said that the party would now present its demands in writing. On the issue of the negotiation committee's meeting with Khan, the PTI chairman said that the former PM has told them to hold one more round of talks if they are not allowed to meet him. However, he noted that the PTI founder is of the view that talks cannot progress further if the party's negotiators are now allowed to meet him. Stressing that the PTI didn't want the negotiations to be derailed on the issue of written demands, the PTI chief recalled that they had established good contact with the government before November 2024. However, he lamented, the matter didn't progress after that. Barrister Gohar also ruled out the possibility that Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi or anyone else had called for Khan's release and clarified that there has been no discussion to shift him somewhere else. "The PTI founder has said that they would welcome any invitations from any country," remarked Gohar "[However] we have said 'absolutely not' to the United States before, if there is interference, we will say so in the future as well," he added. Separately, an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC), while conducting a hearing at the Adiala jail, approved Khan's request for a medical examination and allowed him to talk to his sons.
