Speaking on the floor of the House, the NA speaker said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had repeatedly invited the opposition for talks, and the Federal Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazeer Tarar had also made multiple such offers. \u201cAs the speaker of the National Assembly, I am ready to facilitate dialogue between the government and the opposition,\u201d he added. The speaker emphasised that solutions would emerge only when both sides sat together. \u201cEven if no outcome comes on the first day, continuing the process of dialogue will eventually yield results. It is my responsibility to bring the government and opposition to the negotiating table,\u201d he remarked. Sadiq also responded to criticism from the opposition, saying, \u201cI have defeated your leader twice, and not a single petition was filed against me in this election. No one challenged the results of my constituency, so how can you say we are not true representatives of the people?\u201d He urged the opposition to accept his invitation for talks, saying, \u201cConstructive outcomes will come from dialogue, not confrontation. You talk about negotiations with India, Afghanistan, and Iran\u2014so for that too, we must first learn to sit and talk right here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD(National times)- National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq has once again extended an offer of dialogue to the opposition during the National Assembly session.
