Informing that neither the government nor the PTI had approached him for convening their negotiating teams meeting, National Assembly (NA) Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said on Saturday that he was ready to convene the meeting provided the parties asked him to do so, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
He, however, made it clear that it was not he, who had to arrange a meeting of the PTI’s negotiators with the former prime minister and the party founder Imran Khan, but the government.
Sadiq went on to say that he had told PTI leader Asad Qaiser in a telephonic conversation with him on January 4 that he had conveyed to the government the party committee’s demand for a meeting with Imran. “Qaiser and other party leaders can also directly meet Rana Sanaullah and others in the government.”
