Gohar says PTI founder calls off talks with govt over delay in constituting judicial commission

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan on Thursday said that party founder Imran Khan has said to call off talks with the government owing to a delay over the formation of judicial commissions.

After two rounds of meetings to defuse political tensions, the third round was held seven days ago (Jan 16) in which the PTI formally presented its demands in writing.

Talking to reporters outside Adiala Jail today after meeting Imran, Barrister Gohar said that the government had promised to form the requested judicial commissions within seven days, but it failed to do so.

“The PTI founder (has) said to call the talks off over the government’s failure to form the judicial commissions,” he said. The PTI chairman, however, said negotiations could continue if a three-judge commission is formed
