Sharif's PML-N rules out negotiations with Imran Khan's party

Irfan Siddiqui, a senator from the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party, was speaking to Dawn News channel when he was asked about Khans Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

We have said repeatedly, “All right, you have entered the House in whatever way, so at least sit together at this level and try to resolve your issues.” [But] They don't want to talk, and we also thought that now we are not going to call them repeatedly from our rooftops and say, 'Come, talk to us,'” Siddiqui said in the interview aired Friday night.

He, however, added that the PML-N and its coalition partners would consider whether to open the door for negotiations with the PTI if the party approached it seriously.

Last month, the Pakistani government announced a ban on Khan's PTI. Khan, 71, has been in Adiala Jail for a year now in connection with multiple cases against him.

Earlier, when Khan's PTI-backed candidates won the most seats in the February general elections despite running as independents as the party was denied an election symbol, Khan alleged that the PML-N and its coalition partners, including the Pakistan Peoples Party, stole the mandate to seize power at the federal level.

Relations between the PTI and the PML-N-led coalition government, already strained since Khan's ouster in 2022, have become even more strained and the announcement of the PTI ban appears to be the proverbial final nail in the coffin.

Senator Siddiqui stressed that the holding of dialogue depended on the PTI understanding that we should not have discussions with the army but with the politicians.

He added that perhaps Mahmood Khan Achakzai, chief of the Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party and leader of the opposition alliance, would succeed in doing so. [the PTI] understand that a dialogue between political parties was necessary.

The problem is that one party does not want to engage in dialogue with you, and it is this party that was clearly visible behind May 9. [incidents]Siddiqui said, referring to violent protests last year following Imran's arrest.

After Khan's arrest in an accountability case last year, hundreds of thousands of his supporters and party workers vandalized a dozen military installations, including Jinnah House, Mianwali airbase and the ISI building in Faisalabad on May 9. The army headquarters in Rawalpindi was also attacked by mobs for the first time.

While the PML-N has repeatedly offered dialogue to the PTI, the latter's founder Khan has cited certain conditions, including the return of his stolen mandate, and preferred to hold talks with the military establishment.

Earlier this month, senior PTI leader and lawmaker Ali Muhammad Khan indicated that his party could be open to negotiations with the PML-N, PPP and Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan to resolve the ongoing tensions between the government and the opposition, provided the PTI's demands are met.

Speaking on the government's decision to seek ban on PTI, Senator Siddiqui said the role of PTI cannot be that of a patriot. [political] to party.

The role of this party cannot in any way be termed as pro-Pakistan, the senior PML-N lawmaker said.

Siddiqui then listed the PTI's letter to the International Monetary Fund and the protests it staged outside the Fund's office, the May 9 riots and the multiple resolutions passed in the US Congress.

All these elements and ingredients are there for a decision to be taken. When the Awami National Party was banned, it did not take such steps. It did not carry out such attacks like the PTI did, the senator said.
