ISLAMABAD: A meeting for dialogue between the government and the PTI has been scheduled today with Speaker Ayaz Sadiq in chair, ARY News reported on Tuesday.

The government side will submit its written reply to the Speaker, over the PTI’s charter of demand in the fourth session of the dialogue today, if the opposition party remains absent from the meeting.

PML-N Senator Irfan Siddiqui has said that the government will consider dissolution of the negotiating committee, if the PTI team remains absent. “There was no reference in the statement that the commission will be constituted before the fourth session of the dialogue,” Irfan Siddiqui said.

“You attend the session, perhaps you may get the judicial commission, or some other way-out,” PML-N senator said.
