Dar hints at potential breakthrough in talks with PPP

https://ift.tt/S9mRzvu Ishaq Dar, a senior leader within the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and former finance minister, hinted at a significant development expected in talks between the coordination committees of his party and the PPP on Monday. Dar, who also heads the PML-N coordination committee, indicated that the upcoming meeting, marking the fifth encounter between the two parties, could lead to a breakthrough, although he refrained from divulging specifics. "Consultation on various proposals was underway till yesterday," Dar stated in a post shared by PML-N on X, suggesting ongoing deliberations between the parties. He further remarked that while progress had been made, both sides had yet to finalise key points of agreement. پاکستان مسلم لیگ (ن) اور پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کے اکابرین سے درخواست ہے کہ بات چیت کے لئے کمیٹیوں کے درمیان وضع کردہ ضابطے کی پاسداری کریں طے ہوا تھا کہ دونوں جماعتوں کی تشکیل کردہ کوآرڈینیشن کمیٹیوں کا کوئی رکن یا راہنما بات چیت کے جاری عمل اور اس میں زیرغور نکات پر بیان بازی… — PMLN (@pmln_org) February 18, 2024 "We are working towards consensus on critical issues," Dar affirmed, underlining the parties' efforts to forge a joint declaration regarding the composition of the next government at the federal level. The statement comes as both parties were unable to reach an agreement on government formation, despite their third meeting held on Saturday. Both parties had decided to continue talks on Monday in an effort to break the deadlock. A joint declaration issued after the coordination committees of both parties met in Islamabad stated that detailed discussions took place regarding government formation.

"The proposals put forth by both parties were thoroughly discussed, and while substantial progress was achieved, further deliberations are required to finalise the matters at hand," the joint statement read. Emphasising the importance of a robust democratic government for Pakistan's stability, the committee members concurred on the necessity of reaching a consensus. On Tuesday, the PPP said it would support the PML-N to form a minority government at the Centre, ending a stalemate after inconclusive elections. A PML-N spokesperson later said that the party had nominated Shehbaz Sharif for the post of prime minister.
