Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Monday ruled out the possibility of any reconciliation with PTI he termed as \u201cseditious elements,\u201d stressing that any future dialogue would only be possible following a complete surrender. Speaking informally to the media in London, Dar made pointed remarks aimed at the leadership of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), stating that there could be \u201cno deal with sedition,\u201d and insisted that those responsible for the events of May 9 must face consequences through due legal process. \u201cJustice appears to be prevailing in the May 9 cases. Those who were involved are paying the price,\u201d he said. \u201cIf someone has been punished after a transparent legal procedure, what can we do? It is unfortunate that millions of dollars are being spent to malign Pakistan\u2019s institutions abroad.\u201d The PML-N leader also launched a scathing attack on PTI\u2019s founding chairman, alleging that his policies and actions had undermined Pakistan\u2019s national interests. \u201cThe leadership of PTI has actively harmed the country\u2019s standing,\u201d Dar claimed. Dar also briefed reporters on his recent visit to Belarus, describing it as a significant diplomatic success. He said talks had been held regarding the potential export of 150,000 skilled workers from Pakistan to Belarus, along with collaboration in the manufacturing of heavy machinery. \u201cThis is a comprehensive process. The Belarusian government will soon provide us with details of the sectors in which they require manpower. While they were sourcing talent globally, they have agreed\u2014at our request\u2014to allocate the entire quota to Pakistan,\u201d he said. Dar added that former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif shares a longstanding and \u201cvery close\u201d friendship with the President of Belarus, which had facilitated these discussions. In response to a question about Nawaz Sharif’s political future, Dar dismissed the notion that the PML-N leader had ever exited the political stage. \u201cWhen did he ever leave politics? He remains the president of the PML-N, and both federal and provincial governments continue to seek his guidance,\u201d said the deputy prime minister. Dar also revealed that members of the UK-based Pakistani diaspora serving in the cabinet would attend the upcoming overseas convention in Islamabad. He confirmed that the government was actively pursuing the establishment of an international airport in Azad Kashmir, and advertisements had already been issued for a feasibility study. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to make an announcement on the project during the convention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
