ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson Raoof Hasan claimed that the establishment is indirectly engaging in negotiations with PTI, says Raoof Hasan on Monday.
The negotiations between the federal government and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) commenced today.
While Speaking to the ARY News programme “KHABAR Muhammad Malick Kay Saath”, Raoof Hasan shared some details about the talks.
He said that PTI has presented two key demands – the release of all the political prisoners including founder PTI Imran Khan and the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the May 9 and November 26 incidents.
Hasan clarified that these talks are not with the government, but rather with the establishment, which he believes holds the actual power.
Raoof Hasan stressed that the establishment is behind the scenes in talks with PTI.
The PTI spokesperson expressed scepticism about the government’s willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue, saying that it neither wants to hold talks nor to reach any conclusion, as it would go home if any of our demands are met.
