ISLAMABAD: Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on Monday dismissed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan's demand of including officials from the Military Intelligence and the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency in a judicial commission to probe Imran's rigging allegations.

The finance minister, while addressing a press conference, said the government is still open to holding talks with the PTI, but only if the demands are "according to the law and Constitution".

"These dharnas have caused a huge loss to Pakistan," Dar said, "The economy has suffered huge losses."

"During my recent visits to Beijing, I witnessed a decline in investor confidence."
