title: "PTI Says Talks Broke Down Over Access to Imran Khan and Counterterrorism Policy"
description: "Most outlets reported that PTI cited two main issues — access to Imran Khan and involvement in KP counterterrorism policy — as reasons for the breakdown in government-opposition talks. The framing was largely consistent, with both excerpts quoting PTI Secretary-General Salman Akram Raja or other PTI leaders making the same points. Pakistan Observer used the term \"meaningful reconciliation,\" while Hum News English described the talks as having \"broken down,\" but both conveyed the same core issues."
