ISLAMABAD (Lord Media): Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry has denied any backdoor or front-door communications with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). He stated that there are no contacts, deals, or leniency being extended between the government and PTI, and all PTI matters will be resolved through the courts.

Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, in a statement on social media platform X, termed the rumors of backdoor contacts as mere wishes. He emphasized that PTI must approach the courts to resolve its issues.

It is noteworthy that negotiations and contacts between the government and PTI have been in the news for several weeks. Talks between the two parties began in early October but stalled due to disagreements on certain issues.

Subsequently, Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah revealed that there were off-the-record contacts with some PTI leaders, although he refrained from naming those involved.

PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar had also clarified in September that there were no formal negotiations or backdoor contacts with the government. Now, Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry has dismissed reports of any kind of contacts, deals, or leniency between the government and PTI.
