Political issues can only be resolved through dialogue: Ayaz Sadiq
ISLAMABAD, Aug 21 (APP):National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq on Friday said political issues could only be resolved through dialogue and not confrontation.
Responding to a point raised by Molana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri in the National Assembly, he said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had repeatedly called for sitting together and holding talks to resolve issues.
He said PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and leader of the opposition had also repeatedly expressed their willingness to sit together and hold negotiations. “The same message has come from the law minister and parliamentary affairs,” he added.
The speaker said the time had come to move forward through dialogue.
He added that the opposition leader would hopefully receive an invitation regarding the appointment of members of the Election Commission.
“I think a way forward will emerge from there,” he said.
Ayaz Sadiq stated that he desired betterment for everyone, noting that political circumstances are always subject to change.
He added that those sitting on one side of the house today could very well be on the other side tomorrow, emphasizing that he has always endeavoured to provide relief to all members.
Ask the friends sitting in the opposition; sometimes I provide relief to them beyond my authority,” the Speaker said.
He added that while some individuals might not approve of his actions, he remains committed to accommodating all sides.
However, he said he would continue efforts to facilitate members and help resolve issues.
