The first is internal divisions within Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), while the second is the party\u2019s social media operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He claimed that following meetings with PTI founder Imran Khan, negative campaigns against state institutions would emerge on social media, accompanied by anti-state narratives. As a result, he said, those meetings were eventually discontinued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry expressed hope that all political parties would prioritize national interests and engage in constructive dialogue to help resolve the country&#8217;s challenges through consensus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry has said that the government is fully committed to holding talks with the opposition and believes that dialogue is essential&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5090,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
