The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has refused to attend the fourth meeting of the negotiation committee summoned by National Assembly (NA) Speaker Ayaz Sadiq.

Reportedly, PTI leaders have refused to attend the fourth negotiation committee meeting summoned by NA speaker Ayaz Sadiq going to be held on January 28 at 11:45 pm.

Government spokesperson Senator Irfan Siddiqui for the s negotiation committee said that the “PTI has been invited to the negotiation committee meeting. The PTI hasn’t informed [us] in writing about calling off the talks”.

“We have not called off the negotiations, but when one side abruptly ends the talks, whom are we supposed to negotiate with? Should we sit in a room and talk to the walls?” he informed the media.

He criticised,”The issue is that the prison gates open, and someone suddenly makes an announcement without the negotiation committee even being informed.”

“This is not child’s play; they need to move beyond these ‘ifs and buts’,” he added.

Prime Minister’s Adviser on Public and Political Affairs Sanaullah said while speaking to private media channel that the government could not be held responsible for ending the negotiations, “We entered the dialogue and still want to continue, but there is a way of holding talks. It has always been that one of the parties gives their charter of demands and the other responds to it. The issues are then framed and discussed”.

“Those they [PTI] are looking up to won’t have any discussion on any political agenda, as it has been clarified earlier. If they [PTI] still have any kind of confusion, it will be cleared in the coming days”, he added.

However, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan told reporters that the party would not attend the fourth round of talks scheduled for January 28.
