Islamabad:
PTI leader Ali Muhammad Khan says that the success of the negotiations or the journey to success was neither supposed to be easy nor is it easy. If I say that a very ideal environment is going well, that too would probably not be true.
But if we say that nothing happened and the negotiations are going to end or that there has been no progress, then that would be wrong because you don't immediately think about the maximum and why everything didn't happen like this, it takes a while for all the problems to be resolved.
Speaking on Express News' program Center Stage, he said, "The way we have presented the demands now, I would say that this response from the government is not unexpected."
Member of the government negotiation committee, Naveed Qamar, said that you must have seen it in the news yourself. We were expecting that the PTI's demands would be formally placed before the committee in today's meeting. That is what happened. Their demands came and were placed.
If we go to the original demands, they were the same two demands: to form two judicial commissions and to release political prisoners. The government has asked for seven working days to respond. To a question, he said that it is premature to make any predictions about the outcome of these negotiations.
Middle East affairs expert Mansour Jaafar said that the ceasefire agreement in Gaza is certainly a major diplomatic success in its own right, as a result of which I believe that the Palestinian people, especially the war-torn people of Gaza, seem to be seeing a break in the rain of fire and iron that they have been facing for the past fifteen months, but how can this be made into a workable agreement and how can it be taken to its logical conclusion?
The destruction and devastation in Gaza, and the subsequent steps to determine which forces will take control of Gaza, are still to be seen, but you can gauge this from the fact that since the Gaza ceasefire agreement was announced, Israel has killed 73 Palestinians.
