ISLAMABAD: Pakistan finance minister Ishaq Dar has hinted that negotiations with former PM Imran Khan to end the political crisis were possible if he took “corrective measures” and apologised to the nation for the May 9 violence in which sensitive military installations were attacked.
Dar made the assertion during a Geo News programme on Sunday, the day when Pakistan’s ruling coalition rejected Imran’s offer for dialogue, saying talks were held with politicians, not terrorists.
PTI-chief Imran constituted a seven-member team to hold talks with the government – for developing a consensus on a date for general elections – amid a massive crackdown on his party for the May 9 violence. Dar said peaceful protest was everyone’s right, but attacks on military installations should not be condoned.
