The federal government has rejected National Assembly Opposition Leader Mahmood Achakzai’s demand for a neutral venue to meet Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, insisting that talks must take place at the PM Office.
“Prime Minister House is not anyone’s personal property; it belongs to the state,” Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah said on Saturday, while clarifying the government’s position on the proposed meeting.PM Shehbaz renewed his invitation to the opposition to resume negotiations during the joint sitting last week, meeting Achakzai and warmly shaking hands with him.
