Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's Advisor on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah has said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and its Founder Imran Khan are a reality.
"There is no option but to hold a grand dialogue with them," said the former interior minister.
In an interview with a private TV channel, he said that the PTI had no option but to hold a grand dialogue. "The dialogue will be unconditional, but the release of Imran Khan may also be agreed upon."
Rana Sanaullah further said that the former prime minister also had to accept that Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari were a reality.
He said that if the dialogue was political, only political parties should be a part of it. "At the second stage, institutions can be also be included in the grand dialogue. The talks will serve the purpose only if the institutions become a part of them," he remarked.
