PM Shehbaz urges PTI to end long march and return to talks
Most outlets reported that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called on the PTI to end its long march and return to dialogue, with many emphasizing the conditional nature of the government’s offer — that talks would only proceed if the PTI halted its protests. Several outlets highlighted warnings about the economic impact of continued demonstrations, while others noted the government’s readiness to engage if the PTI “comes to its senses.” A few also mentioned the Interior Minister’s statement that “law will take its course” if the protests continue. The framing was largely consistent, though some outlets placed more emphasis on the economic concerns, while others focused on the political overture.
