Apparently diverging from the former ruling party’s previous stance, PTI senior leader Omar Ayub Khan explained his party’s fresh negotiation policy, saying: “We are ready for talks, be it with humans or farishtay [angels].”
Previously, the Imran Khan-founded was of the view that they would hold talks only with the military establishment instead of the government. During a presser, Ayub slammed the incumbent government saying: “A national government is not the solution to the problems being faced by the country.” He stressed the need to uphold the rule of law and justice to steer the country out of the crisis. “At present, there is only fascism and baton [in the country].”
For his part, Senate opposition leader Shibli Faraz termed the coalition government in the Centre a “fake regime” saying they wanted to engage the PTI leadership in “fake cases”.
The party sources, however, said that the majority of the PTI leaders were against the immediate launch of the civil disobedience move.
