Pakistan Government Renews Push for 'Charter of Politics' and National Dialogue

Fresh legal and security tensions cloud prospects for talks.

Overview

  • At a Lahore seminar, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar urged a national charter of politics to foster political maturity, stability and economic progress.
  • Prime minister’s adviser Rana Sanaullah pressed for dialogue and respect for institutions, arguing that growth is impossible through confrontation or attacks on defence sites.
  • Sanaullah said restrictions on meetings with jailed PTI founder Imran Khan would remain unless there is clear evidence of abandoning unrest.
  • The renewed call follows the military spokesperson branding Imran Khan a national security threat and a court sentencing him to 17 years in the Toshakhana 2 case.
  • Opposition alliances and PML-N figures advocated charters for democracy and the economy, yet no formal government–opposition dialogue has begun despite repeated offers and parliamentary willingness to facilitate.
