Pakistan's ruling coalition led by PML-N, oppostion PTI ready for indirect dialogue: Report

Islamabad: The ruling coalition led by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the opposition Pakis­tan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have formed panels to engage in indirect dialogue, hinting that the ice has started to melt following more than a year of simmering tensions between the two political sides amidst the economic crisis, a media report said on Monday.

The impasse between the two warring



parties was broken by Jamaat-e-Islam (JI) chief Sirajul Haq, who held separate meetings with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PTI chief Imran Khan on Saturday and reported a “positive response” from both sides for holding talks on the issue of elections.

Now, both parties — instead of engaging in a direct dialogue — will route their talks through the JI.
