The government has initiated contact with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership to negotiate an alternative location for their planned protest, according to sources.

Sources reveal that negotiations between Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and PTI leaders are currently underway at the Ministers Enclave.

Officials have reportedly proposed allowing PTI protesters to hold their protest at a location other than D-Chowk, citing security and administrative concerns. The sources said that the PTI could be offered Peshawar Morr or some other location on the outskirts for the protest, and the protesters will have to guarantee they will remain confined to the designated area.

Once the location is finalised, the government is unlikely to obstruct the protesters' movement to this location, the sources added. However, a key condition of the arrangement is that the protesters must refrain from advancing beyond Peshawar Mor towards the Red Zone.

The government has reportedly urged PTI leaders to avoid entering Islamabad, citing a scheduled business conference with Belarusian investors taking place in the capital tomorrow.

According to the sources, the government has reached out to PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar multiple times to discuss the proposal. Besides Barrister Gohar, also part of the negotiations are PTI leaders Shibli Faraz and Asad Qaiser, while the central figure from the federation's side is Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.

However, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar has denied the media reports of talks being held with the government and expressed surprise at the speculation. In an exclusive interview with Samaa TV, Barrister Gohar said that party leader Asad Qaiser is not even present in Islamabad and denied talks with the government.

Earlier today, Barrister Gohar and Barrister Saif held a significant meeting with PTI Founder Imran Khan at Adiala Jail, which lasted for an hour and a half.

Speaking to journalists afterward, Barrister Gohar termed the meeting "important" and confirmed that Imran Khan's call for protest remains unchanged. "The protest has not been called off; it is final," he asserted.

When pressed for information regarding the ongoing negotiations with the government, Gohar remained optimistic, saying, "If they go forward, God willing, we will talk."

Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi, who is part of the Ali Ami Gandapur-led convoy travelling from Peshawar, has vowed to continue the ongoing protest march until her husband is released. Speaking to the participants from the container, she declared, "We will not end this march until Khan comes to us," adding, "I will stand in this march until my last breath."

Her remarks came as the PTI protest entered its second day, with roads connecting Islamabad and Rawalpindi remaining closed due to the ongoing demonstration.

Bushra Bibi emphasized that this protest was not just about her husband, but about the leadership of the country. "This is a matter of the leader of this country," she stated.
