According to Sanaullah, the government will not turn down the PTI’s invitation of talks.

Rana Sanaullah, the prime minister’s advisor for political affairs, stated on Friday that the government will not turn down the PTI’s (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) invitation of talks.

“There will be no rejection from our end if the PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) sends a message for negotiations,” he said this morning on a private television station.

The former federal minister stated that the PTI has formed a committee for negotiations, but no message for negotiations has yet been sent.

He asked, interestingly, “why should we negotiate with you?”

Sanaullah revealed that the PTI was contacted prior to the “final call” [for sit-in protest]. But no offer was made to release Imran Khan, he added.

He accused the PTI of causing the chaos on May 9 and urged the party to “make a sincere apology.”

According to Rana Sanaullah, the problem with madrassa registration can be settled by discussion. No deadlock exists. He insisted that it makes no difference if a madrassa is registered under the Ministry of Education or the Society Act.

He admitted earlier Thursday night that the best way to settle political disputes is through dialogue.

He told a private television channel that the PTI’s leaders had repeatedly been given seats by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), but they had declined.

In response to a query regarding Imran Khan’s release, he stated that the PTI founder is in the court’s custody and that the government is powerless to evidence
