IISLAMABAD —The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) parliamentary committee has expressed support for negotiations with the government, although differences have emerged among party leaders over the procedure and composition of the negotiating team,. Sources said Barrister Gohar and like-minded leaders, including Mahmood Achakzai and Raja Nasir Abbas, are in favour of pursuing dialogue with the government.

Some members have also expressed reservations about the role of opposition leaders, arguing that broader political demands could take precedence over PTI’s own demands during negotiations.
They have stressed that the party should establish its own committee to ensure its priorities remain central to the process., PTI members have proposed including Mahmood Achakzai and Raja Nasir Abbas in the committee while limiting their authority to negotiate on the party’s behalf.
