ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s ruling coalition has rejected former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s offer for dialogue, saying that talks were held with politicians, not terrorists, a media report said on Sunday.
The government also stated that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief was now himself seeking a National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), the Express Tribune newspaper reported.
The development came as Khan constituted a seven-member team to hold talks with the government for developing consensus on a date for general elections amid a massive crackdown on his party.
The crackdown launched after May 9 protests have thrown PTI into deep crisis with dozens of party leaders jumping ship every day.
