-align: justify;">ISLAMABAD, Dec 17 (APP):Adviser to Prime Minister on Inter-Provincial Coordination Rana Sanaullah Khan on Tuesday said that political dialogue is mandatory for parliamentary democracy.
-align: justify;">
-align: justify;">Speaking in the National Assembly, he said, “This is a reality that in the parliamentary democratic system; until the opposition leader and leader of the house don’t sit and have dialogue, this system cannot work.”
-align: justify;">
-align: justify;">Sanaulllah recalled that when Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was in the house a few weeks ago, he exchanged pleasantries with the opposition and extended an invitation for talks. He, however, lamented the response and tone used by the Opposition Leader Omar Ayub Khan.
-align: justify;">
-align: justify;">“Now, if [PTI leader] Sher Afzal Marwat is claiming we didn’t have any conversations, then maybe conversation didn’t happen from that side either,” he said.
-align: justify;">
-align: justify;">The political adviser also recalled that before PTI’s Nov 24 power show, the party was offered Sangjani as a venue instead of the planned D-Chowk protest, “but that call was not heeded.” He regretted the loss of lives on both sides, referring to those in uniform and those without.
-align: justify;">
-align: justify;">Sanaullah emphasised that despite cases being made against PML-N members and its leaders being sent to jail, the call for dialogue was extended. “If there is no dialogue between political parties and forces, the matter will not move forward.”
-align: justify;">
-align: justify;">“I request Marwat sahib that if you have made this committee for talks with us — which you have not said a word about till this day —then officially come and say you have formed this committee for dialogue with the government or PML-N or allied parties,” he said.
-align: justify;">
-align: justify;">Sanaullah noted that the statement put forward by Afzal Marwat indicated that a committee has been formed for talks, and whoever wants to hold conversations can proceed to do it.
-align: justify;">
-align: justify;">He went on to emphasise that the office of the House’s speaker was a “neutral venue”. “It is as much ours as it is yours, and current speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq has always maintained his neutrality,” he said.
-align: justify;">
-align: justify;">“Marwat sahib, if you find it suitable, I request that your committee at least sends an official message to the government that there is a committee [for talks]. “Don’t be constrained to TV talk shows and press releases, go and tell them there is this committee and we are serious and want political dialogue,” Sanaullah said.
-align: justify;">
-align: justify;">He was optimistic that if this suggestion was implemented, it would yield results.
