Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has responded cautiously to Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s call for political dialogue, stating that discussions can only occur if the government genuinely fosters a conducive environment. Raids and arrests of party members contradict the spirit of dialogue, the party said. PTI leader Asad Qaiser emphasized that no formal decision will be made until internal consultations take place. He also criticized the authorities for denying access to the party's founder, calling the current conditions incompatible with meaningful talks.
