LAHORE: Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, President of the PML-N regretted that the talks between the government and the opposition remained inconclusive due to Pakistan Tehreek Insaf leadership’s stubborn, inflexible and non-serious approach.
In a meeting with party leaders, the PML-N president said: “You had facilitated negotiations between the government and the opposition as the custodian of the house. However, these talks failed to yield results due to the PTI’s lack of seriousness.”
In an indirect reference to the PTI, Nawaz Sharif said people were “not interested in protests and sloganeering”, rather they wanted their pressing issues are resolved.
The meeting underscored the importance of “parliamentary supremacy, effective legislation in the public interest, and the strengthening of democracy”.
Nawaz Sharif stressed that a strong parliament was essential for ensuring political stability and people’s welfare.
He appreciated National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq for conducting the proceedings of the house with fairness despite protests by the opposition. During the meeting, the NA speaker briefed the president of the ruling party on the ongoing session of the National Assembly, the legislative process, key parliamentary developments, and the performance of the 16th National Assembly during its first parliamentary year.
