The PTI and the government are currently engaged in talks to bring down political temperatures. After two rounds of meetings, the third round was held last week in which the PTI formally presented<\/a> its demands in writing.<\/p>\n Despite weeks of negotiations<\/a>, the dialogue process has hardly moved forward on major issues \u2014 the formation of a judicial commission and the release of PTI prisoners. The government assured the PTI of a response to the opposition\u2019s charter of demands within seven working days a day ago after the party warned it would boycott<\/a> the next round of talks if judicial commissions were not formed to probe the May 9<\/a> and Nov 26<\/a> incidents. A government committee was formed to deliberate on the PTI\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n Speaking to reporters in Islamabad today after a meeting of the committee at Parliament House, Sanaullah said: \u201cA subcommittee has been formed that will form a response to the PTI\u2019s charter of demands.\u201d<\/p>\n He said the response would be submitted in written form to the PTI.<\/p>\n Sanaullah added that any answers to questions the reporters were asking him regarding the formation of judicial commissions would be found in the response.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Senator Irfan Siddiqui said the discussions were fruitful, and the government would respond to the opposition\u2019s charter of demands<\/a> within seven working days.<\/p>\n While responding to a reporter\u2019s question, the PML-N leader emphasised that a fourth meeting had been decided on when the third one concluded.<\/p>\n \u201cTill now we have only read [the opposition\u2019s] charter of demands, and we have not formed an opinion on it yet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He added that he hoped the PTI would attend the fourth round of talks.<\/p>\n
