Government’s Stance on Talks with PTI
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reiterated that the government remains open to negotiations with PTI in an effort to resolve ongoing political issues.
Addressing the federal cabinet, PM Shehbaz claimed the government had created a conducive environment for dialogue but accused PTI of avoiding talks.

However, he noted that PTI unilaterally withdrew from the scheduled meeting on January 28.
