ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA Ali Muhammad Khan has called on the government and his party to immediately resume negotiations, warning that continued confrontation could harm the country.
In a post on X, the PTI leader urged both sides to restart dialogue without delay.
“Talks should be started today to save the country from destruction,” Ali Muhammad Khan said.
His appeal came as the PTI long march towards Islamabad reached Karak after negotiations with the federal government failed to break the deadlock.
PTI Long March Moves Forward
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi had set out from Gandi Chowk in Lakki Marwat with the PTI convoy.
Afridi said he would announce the party’s next course of action on Thursday, October 8, when the convoy reaches Khairabad.
He later announced that the caravan had camped in Karak for the night.
The march comes amid heightened tensions between PTI and the federal government following the collapse of talks between the two sides.
