The second round of negotiations between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the government will take place on January 2 at the Parliament House. After consultation, PTI has decided to present two demands to the government.
According to sources, there has been significant progress in the negotiations between PTI and the government. After internal discussions, PTI has decided to formally present two demands to the government. PTI leaders have discussed the formation of a judicial commission and the release of prisoners. The party plans to submit these demands in writing to the government team.
Sources further report that PTI will formally demand the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the incidents of May 9 and November 26. Additionally, PTI will demand the release of its workers imprisoned in jails.
The second round of negotiations between the PTI and government negotiation committees will be held on January 2, and members of the committee, including Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, will be present.
Furthermore, Speaker of the National Assembly, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, has summoned the second meeting of the PTI and government negotiation committees on January 2 at 11:30 AM. A notification for the meeting has also been issued.

All members of the negotiation committee will be part of the second round of negotiations. He further emphasized that PTI’s demands are clear, including the release of prisoners and the establishment of a commission. He expressed PTI’s willingness to cooperate in moving the country forward and stated that all members of the negotiation team would be part of the upcoming session.
On the other hand, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has cautioned his party to engage in negotiations but also warned them to ensure they are not being used.
