Lahore: In a move that signals a potential political thaw, Speaker of the Punjab Assembly, Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan, has formed an 8-member government negotiation committee to address the contentious issue of suspended opposition members.<\/p>\n
The decision comes amid mounting pressure to restore parliamentary decorum and re-engage sidelined voices. The committee features senior lawmakers from across the ruling coalition, including Chief Whip Rana Arshad, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mujtaba Shuja-ur-Rehman, Khawaja Salman Rafique, Samiullah Khan, and Ahmed Iqbal. Also joining the effort are cross-party allies: Ali Haider Gillani (PPP), Chaudhry Shafay Hussain (PML-Q), and Shoaib Siddiqui (IPP).<\/p>\n
Sources suggest the opposition is expected to respond in kind, with Leader of the Opposition Ahmad Khan Bhachar poised to announce a counter-committee comprising key figures such as Ali Imtiaz Warraich, Sheikh Imtiaz, and Ejaz Shafi.<\/p>\n
Both sides are reportedly preparing proposals to set the tone for constructive engagement. The second round of talks is scheduled for Sunday at 4:30 PM within the Punjab Assembly premises\u2014marking what could be a turning point in restoring cross-party consensus.<\/p>\n
As political tensions rise, this negotiation may offer a critical opportunity for reconciliation\u2014or deepen the divide if common ground isn’t found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
