Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said that there was no need for negotiations with the opposition to end the Azadi March sit-in if his resignation remained the key demand, the media reported citing sources.
Chief of Pakistan’s opposition party Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), Maulana Fazlur Rehman, and his thousands of supporters have camped in Islamabad demanding the resignation of Khan. A government constituted committee has held parleys with opposition leaders multiple times but nothing has come out of it.
