Talks Between Pakistan's Shehbaz Govt, Imran Khan's PTI Fail; Islamabad Braces for More Protests
The party said it will press on after negotiators failed to settle demands for a meeting with jailed founder Imran Khan and access to his doctors.
- On Sunday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf confirmed its long march to Islamabad will proceed after negotiations with the government collapsed early Sunday following a deadlock in the second round of talks.
- Negotiations stalled because the government demanded the protest be canceled first, while PTI insisted on meeting jailed founder Imran Khan and securing access to his personal physician before deciding on the march.
- Protesters seek Khan's release, hospital transfer, and family visit permissions; the march begins Sunday in Lakki Marwat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa , with supporters from across the province joining the convoy along the route.
- Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's adviser Rana Sanaullah warned that "No one would be allowed to enter Islamabad," as shipping containers now block key approaches to the capital to contain the movement.
- Imprisoned since 2023 on corruption charges, Khan remains the central figure in the standoff; the government accused PTI of sympathizing with the Pakistani Taliban, and past protests by his supporters have occasionally turned violent.
