LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Saturday insisted there would be no negotiations with the government and said she had received 159 out of 160 resignations of lawmakers in the Punjab Assembly and “95 per cent of the National Assembly”.
Speaking to reporters before departing for Sukkur, Maryam said former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was firm on the government not receiving any concessions from the opposition, which she termed an “NRO”, similar to what the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government says the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is after.
“There is consensus within all parties of the PDM that there will not be any sort of dialogue with the government. PTI’s offer to negotiate is equivalent to seeking an NRO,” she said. The PML-N leader also said PTI was trying “through several means” to initiate dialogue with the opposition.
