During the meeting, the PTI presented a three-page document detailing its demands, signed by the six opposition MPs present. These demands include two main goals: the formation of judicial commissions and government cooperation in facilitating legal aid to political prisoners. The PTI specifically called for the establishment of two judicial commissions under the Commission of Inquiry Act, 2017, each headed by either the Chief Justice of Pakistan or three sitting judges of the Supreme Court, agreed to a mutual agreement by the government and the opposition. The PTI further asserted that the creation of these commissions was essential to demonstrate the government's commitment to addressing their concerns. The party said: “We will not be able to continue negotiations if the two commissions we are seeking are not agreed in principle and constituted immediately,” Dawn reported. One of the commissions is expected to investigate the legality of the events surrounding the arrest of PTI founder Imran Khan on May 9, 2023. The PTI has demanded a thorough investigation into the actions of law enforcement agencies during the arrest , the nationwide protests that followed, and the circumstances in which individuals targeted high-security locations. The party also demanded a review of media restrictions and internet shutdowns imposed by the government during the unrest, stressing the need for accountability. The second commission would investigate the crackdown on the PTI's “Final Call” protest in November in Islamabad, where tensions escalated after clashes between protesters and law enforcement. (ANI)
