Rana Sanaullah Talks Offer Open Dialogue, Rejects Deal Claims With PTI Founder

Rana Sanaullah talks have come into focus after he denied reports of any secret deal with the jailed founder of PTI. He said the government is ready for dialogue, but there is no agreement behind the scenes.

Rana Sanaullah, Adviser to Prime Minister on Political Affairs, spoke on a TV programme on Thursday. He clearly rejected claims that any deal had been finalised with the former prime minister.

He said the government’s position is open and transparent. According to him, talks can only happen for the stability and strength of Pakistan.

He also shared that a meeting took place on November 24. It included Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and PTI leaders like Asad Qaiser and Amir Dogar. However, the discussion ended without any result.

Rana Sanaullah talks position remained firm. He said the PTI founder did not agree to the government’s terms. He described the former premier’s approach as stubborn.

He added that an apology for the May 9 incidents is necessary before any dialogue can move forward. He said this condition has already been made clear.

Rana Sanaullah also denied reports that Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Raja Nasir Abbas were authorised to negotiate. He said Achakzai himself admitted he needed permission before any talks.

He further said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had offered talks three times in the past. This shows the government’s willingness to resolve issues through dialogue.

Speaking about health concerns, he said the PTI founder is receiving proper medical treatment. He added that doctors can shift him to Shifa International Hospital or another facility if needed.

Rana Sanaullah talks also addressed PTI’s newly announced “force.” He said such moves would not succeed, just like previous protests and strikes.

He concluded that the government remains open to talks, but only under clear and lawful conditions.
