Sources familiar with the matter revealed that a high-level meeting took place last Friday with Shah Mahmood Qureshi, where the former leadership discussed a strategy for dialogue and negotiation across the political spectrum.
The coordination team reportedly includes prominent PTI figures such as Fawad Chaudhry, Imran Ismail, Ali Zaidi, Mehmood Molvi, and Sabtain Khan. According to insiders, these leaders are exploring meetings with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) representatives and other political actors to create a framework for de-escalation.
The initiative is said to focus on lowering the political temperature nationwide while addressing procedural and organizational concerns within PTI. Former leaders are actively exploring ways to mediate, restore stability, and facilitate the founder’s safe return.
Further sources indicated that additional discussions were held with Ejaz Chaudhry, Mian Mehmood Arshad, and Umar Sarfraz Cheema, examining the broader political landscape and potential pathways for reconciliation amid rising tensions.
