Talks between the opposition and the government end without any positive outcome, which means a deadlock persists amid PTI call for a long march on Islamabad from Sunday (today). The deadlock between the government and PTI had shifted to counterterrorism-related administrative matters. According to the sources, the PTI was reluctant to accept certain administrative measures in areas affected by terrorism and was also hesitant over the government's position on counterterrorism strategy.
The sources said the government had made clear that progress on other issues would also remain blocked if there was no movement on the counterterrorism matter. Opposition leader Allama Nasir Abbas said a deadlock remains in negotiations with the government, matters will not be finalised until the meeting with the PTI founder. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi also met with President Asif Zardari. He consulted with top political leadership and legal experts.
