Government stance on talks

The Prime Minister's adviser stated that doors for negotiations remain open to the opposition. However, he warned that the administration would not accept attempts to use discussions as a tool for making demands. Officials insist that political issues must be resolved through dialogue rather than disruption.

Criticism of opposition tactics

Sanaullah accused the party of promoting intolerance and using abusive language during recent interactions. He noted that the leadership has failed to place national interests above their own political goals. The adviser also highlighted allegations regarding the misuse of provincial resources for the planned march.

Reasons for negotiation failure

Previous meetings ended in a deadlock after discussions focused on the upcoming October 4 event. Opposition leaders claimed reconciliation was impossible without including the incarcerated party founder in the process. They further stated that the government refused to pursue a collective strategy against terrorism.
