After calls were made recently to initiate a new round of reconciliation talks, PTI senior leader Shehryar Afridi has claimed that his party will hold \u201cdialogue with Chief of Army Staff and Director General of Inter-Services Intelligence soon\u201d instead of talking to \u201crejected people\u201d who reached the parliament through Form 47. Afridi made the statement while speaking to on private news channel asked about ways to put the country on the path of political stability. Slamming the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) led government, the PTI stalwart alleged that the incumbent rulers are a bunch of \u201crejected people\u201d who are being \u201ccontrolled through a remote\u201d and reached parliament via \u201cForm 47\u201d. He also alleged that the ruling parties were \u201csupported by the establishment\u201d. Responding to new calls for reconciliation, he said that there was no benefit for the former ruling party to hold dialogue with the \u201cpeople rejected by the nation\u201d. He went on to say that PTI founder Imran Khan and Pakistan are inseparable while his opponents faced a humiliating defeat in the February 8 nationwide general elections despite committing \u201cworst rigging\u201d. The incumbent rulers need moral power to step down after accepting that they did not get votes from the nation, he added. \u201cMy leader doesn\u2019t want any NRO. We want dialogue for betterment of Pakistan,\u201d Afridi said, adding that Khan wants to engage all stakeholders for a better country but he did not receive any response. He clarified the PTI was neither going against the national interests nor the military and other state institutions. The former federal minister also claimed that the party would soon hold talks with the army chief and top spy.
