Sources stated that the coalition parties failed to agree on holding talks with PTI Chairman Imran Khan despite the insistence of Pakistan People\u2019s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto.<br \/>\nDuring the meeting, majority of political forces \u2013 including Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), Balochistan National Party (BNP), Khalid Magsi, Mohsin Dawar and others \u2013 voiced their support to Bilawal Bhutto\u2019 stance.<br \/>\nHowever, sources claimed, Jamat-e-Ulema Islam (JUI-F) opposed the PPP\u2019s stance of holding negotiations. \u201cImran Khan is not a political force,\u201d sources said while quoting JUI-F, while JWP\u2019s Shahzain Bugti said that his party did not oppose talks but \u201cImran is a liar\u201d. \u2014 DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAHORE: Federal Minister for Railways and PML-N senior leader Khawaja Saad Rafique said on Wednesday he is in favour of holding talks with the opposition party for the sake of country.
