Speaker National Assembly, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, has expressed regret over the allegations made by some PTI leaders and Members of the National Assembly regarding his role in the negotiation process.
In a statement issued earlier today, the Speaker clarified that his role in government-opposition negotiations is purely that of a facilitator. He emphasized that arranging a meeting with the party's founding chairman is neither his mandate nor his responsibility.
He expressed disappointment over claims that attempts to contact the Speaker's office were not positively received. Reiterating his stance, the Speaker said, "My doors have always been open to everyone, and I have never refused a meeting with any member of the National Assembly."
Furthermore, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq stated that if PTI leaders feel he should withdraw from the negotiation process, he is open to considering such a proposal to uphold the neutrality and integrity of the Speaker’s office.
The Speaker also emphasized that his ongoing official visits abroad do not hinder his ability to arrange meetings. He reaffirmed his readiness to facilitate any arrangement upon request from the government and the opposition.
