ISLAMABAD: Representatives of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) told the Supreme Court on Thursday they will hold talks with the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) in an effort to resolve the dispute over the election date.
Farooq H. Naek of the PPP and Khawaja Saad Rafique of the PML-N made the assurance to the three-judge bench of the court, which is being led by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial.
“We will hold talks with PTI so agitation ends,” Naek told the court, while Rafique said that they are “ready to find a solution on the election date by sitting with the opposition.”
Justice Bandial appreciated Jamat-i-Islami emir Siraj ul-Haq for his efforts to initiate a dialogue between the government and the PTI, saying: “You have undertaken a good initiative. May Allah succeed you.”
