Another PPP leader said the party was not against talks with any group.“The issue is whether or not we will join the government. There is a lot ofpressure on our leadership, so we are not closing the doors (for the PTI).The unofficial talks are on but there have not been the highest levelcontacts so far.
The PTI and their sympathisers are asking us to support them (in thecentre),” he said, citing the top leadership’s recent meetings.
