LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Sunday formed a three-member committee, consisting of Pervaiz Khattak, Ejaz Chaudhry, and Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed, to hold a dialogue with the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) on the ongoing political crisis in the country.
This move comes after the JI leader Sirajul Haq’s initiative to bring the government and opposition closer. Haq had suggested setting up a committee to develop a larger consensus for holding elections in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and eventually the entire country during his meetings with PTI Chairman Imran Khan and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Lahore.
