Sanaullah criticised Khan\u2019s stance as \u201cstubbornness,\u201d saying the conditions set by the former premier were not workable for the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He reiterated that a sincere apology over the May 9 incidents remained a primary requirement for dialogue, adding that the matter had also been highlighted by the military\u2019s media wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adviser rejected suggestions that Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Raja Nasir Abbas had been formally authorised to negotiate on Khan\u2019s behalf, claiming Achakzai had indicated he would first need permission from the PTI founder before any talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanaullah said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had offered dialogue on three separate occasions. He also assured that Khan was receiving the best possible medical treatment in custody and could be shifted to any appropriate hospital if doctors recommended it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The senior leader further downplayed the impact of PTI\u2019s recently announced mobilisation drive, predicting it would fail like previous protests and sit-ins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah Khan on Thursday categorically ruled out any deal between the government and jailed former prime minister Imran Khan, saying&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[186,1250,1251,1249,1248],"class_list":["post-1455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan","tag-imran-khan","tag-pakistan-government","tag-political-dialogue","tag-pti-politics","tag-rana-sanaullah"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
