The work on the Grand Dialogue to achieve a breakthrough in national politics has started ahead of the upcoming elections.All political parties including rivals like JamiatUlema-e-Islam Pakistan (JUI-F) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) are expected to participate in the dialogue.According to sources, the recent meeting between a PTI delegation and JUI-F chief MaulanaFazlurRehman was an important step towards the Grand Dialogue.
The meeting was a ‘nudge’ felt on the political landscape as both parties are considered ‘arch-rivals’ with their respective heads lampooning each other publicly.Reportedly, MaulanaFazlurRehman asked for a commitment from the PTI team that they would cooperate to ensure a fair competition among all political parties in the upcoming general elections.
