Opposition Alliance Decides to Respond Positively to Government’s Dialogue Offer

Islamabad — In a significant political development, the opposition alliance has decided to respond positively to the government’s offer for dialogue, raising hopes of a thaw in the prolonged political standoff gripping the country.
According to sources, on the advice of PTI leadership, senior opposition figures Mahmood Achakzai and Raja Nasir Abbas will soon hold crucial meetings with key government personalities to initiate the dialogue process. The meetings are expected to cover the prevailing political situation, ongoing crisis, and the framework for future negotiations.
The development is being viewed as a notable shift in the opposition’s stance, particularly given that relations between the government and opposition have remained strained for an extended period. PTI leadership’s endorsement of the dialogue initiative is being seen as a sign of growing consensus within the opposition ranks.
However, opposition sources have made clear that any negotiations will proceed on principled grounds, with key demands — including the release of political prisoners and resolution of constitutional grievances — expected to form a central part of the agenda.
Political analysts believe that the success of these preliminary meetings could pave the way for a broader and more structured dialogue, which many consider essential for restoring political stability in Pakistan.
