Faisal Chaudhry further said that the current PTI leadership is compromised and lacks any actionable plan. He added, \u201cThere is no one in the current leadership capable of ending these conflicts. I have repeatedly said they cannot run a movement, and I have conveyed this to the party founder as well.&#8221; The lawyer emphasized that political dialogue is the only way forward, stating that even during martial law, negotiations are conducted.
