Government and opposition delegations will resume talks on Saturday after their first round of negotiations ended on Friday without a decision at the National Assembly speaker's chamber. The meeting preceded the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's scheduled long march towards Islamabad on October 4, which the party had earlier postponed from September 27.

The six-member opposition delegation features PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Senate Opposition Leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, and PTI leaders Asad Qaiser, Salman Akram Raja, Amir Dogar, and Haleem Adil Sheikh. The government team includes Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, PM's Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry, and PPP's Sherry Rehman, with Naqvi presenting a briefing on the law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

PTI reconstituted its delegation after TTAP chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai refused to attend at the NA speaker's chamber, demanding a neutral location. Speaking to journalists, Gohar said the one-hour meeting occurred in a good atmosphere where the opposition presented its demands clearly after attending unconditionally upon the government's invitation.

Sanaullah confirmed that no decision was reached during the initial round and stated that the two sides would resume negotiations tomorrow while declining to comment on progress.
