Former prime minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has said there will be no talks with ‘terrorists’.
“Talks are held with politicians. There will be no talks with the group of terrorists and saboteurs who burn the memorials of martyrs and set the country on fire,” Nawaz tweeted after the PTI formed an election negotiation team.

According to a PTI notification, a seven-member team was formed to hold talks with the government on the matter of election.
Sources in the coalition government said there is no PTI contact on the matter as yet.
However, the insiders added PM Shehbaz Sharif will make the final decision after consulting the leaders of the coalition parties.
Key coalition partners previously showed their reservations about holding talks with PTI.
Imran Khan showed arrogance and ordered his team to quit talks, said cabinet members, adding that a quick start of talks is ‘not possible’
Moreover, according to sources in the government, most of the PTI negotiation team members have been going into hiding because of fear of arrest in connection with the May 9 riots.
The PTI talks team consists of Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Pervez Khattak, Qaisar, Haleem Adil Sheikh, Aun Abbasi Bibi, Murad Saeed and Hammad Azhar.
