Meanwhile, talking to newsmen outside the Parliament House in Islamabad on Friday, Irfan Siddiqui maintained “No ifs and buts, the PTI should come to the table on January 28.”

He said whom should the government talks as the PTI had called off the talks. “Should we talk to the walls in meeting? A man from Adiala Jail abruptly announced that the PTI was not interested in the dialogue process,” he added. 

Irfan Siddiqui said the government negotiation committee was still unaware of the latest situation because as on the other side only one man controls the entire negotiations process who lacks moral values.

Meanwhile, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan told the newsmen on Friday said the decision to call off the talks can be revisited if the government constitutes a judicial commission to probe May 9 and November 26 events.

Gohar said that the PTI had called off the talks with the government but despite passage of seven days the government has failed to announce forming of the judicial commission. "We are not going to the January 28th meeting," he added.

He said that the PTI had participated in the negotiations with open mind and put forward their two demands for consideration.

Barrister Gohar informed that the PTI will take part in in joint session of the Parliament and will hold protest against laws which will be adopted by the House.
