ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PIT) on Thursday finally presented its demands in writing, seeking probes into the May 9, 2023, and November 26, 2024 events, as well as the release of “political prisoners”.PTI’s ‘Charter of Demands’, available with Geo News, also mentions that if the government fails to constitute two separate commissions on the violent events, the party will not continue the negotiations. The third meeting between the Imran Khan-founded PTI and the government took place at the Parliament House under National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq’s leadership, where the demands were presented. NA Opposition Leader Omar Ayub, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, former NA speaker Asad Qaiser, party’s Secretary-General Salman Akram Raja, Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) Chairman Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, and Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) chief Sahibzada Hamid Raza represented the PTI. Whereas, the government’s team include Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, PM’s Adviser Rana Sanaullah, Senator Irfan Siddiqui, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leaders Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, Naveed Qamar, Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) lawmaker Farooq Sattar and Balochistan Awami Party lawmaker Khalid Magsi. In the three-page document, the PTI mentioned that the party and its allies have travelled through “blood and gore” and their leader Khan and thousands of our supporters have faced “unjustified imprisonment”.The party’s written demands bear the signature of all six members of the PTI’s negotiation committee including CM Gandapur, ex-speaker Qaiser, Secretary-General Raja, MWM head Allama Abbas, and SIC’s Raza represented the PTI.The document mentioned that the party entered into negotiations with the “government installed in Islamabad” in order to take the fight for the people’s rights onwards. “The Charter of Demands is presented as a prerequisite to wider negotiations with respect to the restoration of the Constitution, the rule of law and respect for the people’s mandate, free and fair elections.” In the previous two rounds, with the first taking place on December 27, 2024 followed by a second session on January 2, 2025, the party did not present its demands as they awaited Khan’s nod. However, after much ado, the PTI negotiators were allowed to meet the PTI founder — behind bars at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail — who gave them comprehensive instructions, based on which their demands were finalised. NA Speaker Sadiq, speaking to the media following the meeting of the negotiation committees, said the opposition presented its written demands and read them out during the session. He added that the PTI requested another meeting between their leader and the committee. The speaker also noted that the negotiations are progressing in a positive direction. Siddiqui, the spokesperson for the government committee, said the government committee would provide a written response to PTI’s demands within seven days. According to him, PTI leader Ayub presented the list of written demands to the speaker and also read them aloud during the meeting. Siddiqui further revealed that PTI has demanded a meeting with their leader in Adiala Jail. He added that the next date for the negotiation committees’ session would be announced by the NA speaker.
