Govt Open to Talks, but Demands Cannot Be Met Through Instability: Sanaullah
Rana Sanaullah said talks remain open, but the government will not accept political demands made through instability or pressure tactics.
- On Wednesday, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah rejected PTI pressure tactics, stating the government will not accept demands while "holding the state hostage," though remaining open to dialogue if the march ends.
- K-P Chief Minister Sohail Afridi announced route changes on Tuesday as the march reached its third day. The caravan began in Lakki Marwat on Sunday, arrived in Kohat on Monday, and now heads toward Khyber before proceeding to Peshawar.
- Police spokesman Alam Khan detailed security plans spanning Peshawar to Nowshera, including deployment of around 300 personnel and drone cameras for monitoring. The City Patrol Force will maintain presence at entry and exit points.
- PTI maintains the long march will continue under Imran Khan's direction, while Sanaullah referenced the 126-day 2014 Islamabad sit-in, claiming the party has made "laying siege to Islamabad" a persistent political tactic.
- The government urged PTI to separate political demands from national security efforts, requesting unconditional provincial support in the fight against terrorism. Sanaullah warned that political instability undermines the broader counterterrorism agenda.
