Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Offers Talks if PTI Ends Protest March
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has invited the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to resume dialogue, urging it to call off its ongoing long march to Islamabad. The offer is conditional on the immediate halt of protests, which Sharif warns could destabilize the country and harm its fragile economic recovery. Recent talks between the government and PTI collapsed over access to jailed former premier Imran Khan. The PTI continues its protest march through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, pressing for Khan's release.
