'Agenda more important than venue', says minister amid dialogue push

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry has stated that the 'agenda is more important than the venue' as the government pushes for dialogue amidst ongoing political tensions. This declaration comes as the opposition seeks a neutral venue for political negotiations, indicating a disagreement on the logistics of discussions. The government has also rejected claims that it is attempting to gain political control over Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). Minister Chaudhry clarified that emergency measures implemented in KP are specifically aimed at restoring peace in the region, rather than asserting political dominance. This push for dialogue and clarification on KP measures highlights efforts to de-escalate political friction and address security concerns.
