Imran khan sets seven-day deadline for judicial commission formation

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has directed his party’s negotiation team to withdraw from further talks with the government if a judicial commission is not formed within seven days, according to Barrister Gohar.

Speaking to media outside Adiala Jail, Gohar emphasised that the establishment of the judicial commission is critical for meaningful dialogue.

"If the government does not move forward on forming the commission, there is no point in continuing negotiations," he said.

Gohar also criticised Irfan Siddiqui, the spokesperson for the government’s negotiation committee, for delaying progress. "Siddiqui should not derail the talks by turning minor issues into major controversies," he said, adding that recent discussions focused on law and order and should not be politicised.

PTI is insisting on the judicial commission to ensure accountability and transparency. "Imran Khan has made it clear that the fourth meeting will only happen if the commission is formed within the deadline," Gohar stated, highlighting the party’s commitment to negotiations but also its resolve to hold the government accountable for its promises.

He accused the government of being uneasy about the demand for transparency, referring to it as the "Form 47 government."

Gohar urged the ruling coalition to focus on dialogue for the country's benefit. "Successful negotiations mean success for Pakistan," he said, calling for patience and mutual understanding in the process.

The PTI leader concluded by dismissing rumours about official invitations from former U.S. President Donald Trump for his inauguration, clarifying that such matters are determined by his campaign committee and not government channels.
