    Prime Minister's Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah said it would be better if PML-N President Nawaz Sharif, PTI founder Khan, and President Asif Ali Zardari sat together to resolve the issues as holding negotiations is the only resolution.

    "The summary of the 40 years of politics is that the country cannot get out of crises unless [the politicians] sit together," said Sanaullah, highlighting that the PTI did not agree on holding negotiations before November 26.

    He recalled that Nawaz and former PPP chief Benazir Bhutto also admitted their mistakes before the Charter of Democracy, stressing that it is important to admit one's mistakes before holding talks.

    "However, one can also express regret if he does not want to accept mistakes," said the PM's aide.

    On the other hand, National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq said that the negotiations must take place despite the bitterness. He said that he asked the prime minister to form a government committee after contacting the opposition.

    "My role was to facilitate the dialogue which should be conducted by both the committees," said the NA speaker.

    Meanwhile, PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafique said that the country is in a state of internal conflict, blaming PTI founder, former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa and former chief justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar for the problems.

    Addressing a seminar in Lahore, Saad Rafique expressed hope for the government-opposition talks, saying: "The talks will be serious and there will be a way out," he hoped.

    Rafique said that unfortunately, all three political parties are a victim of "remote control politics", adding that many people will become irrelevant if the situation persists.
