It is to be noted here that the PDM chief had rejected talks with the PTI. However, on insistence of PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, he asked for some time for further consultation on the issue.
“Negotiations with [PTI chairman] Imran Khan will not yield any positive result. The PTI has ruined Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 10 years,” Fazlur Rehman had said.
“Negotiations in democracy are the solution to all crises,” Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had replied.
