Punjab Assembly Speaker Malik Ahmed Khan said on Sunday that only negotiations can address the political problems.
Expressing his thoughts in Burewala, Khan recalled the events that transpired on May 9, saying, “One cannot claim the political rights by resorting to the vandalism. Undoubtedly, events like May 9 are the blackest chapters in the country’s history.”
“Doing crime is being perceived as the political right in the country,” he rued.
“There is a dire need to establish the judicial commission to investigate the events that happened on May 9, last year.”

Separately on Saturday, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, addressing a ceremony in Lahore, stressed the importance of negotiations among political, judicial, and institutional stakeholders to resolve the country's pressing challenges.
However, he cautioned against hasty decisions, urging prudence and sincerity in dialogue. "We politicians should take care of our honour and dignity. They didn't even let me get close to the negotiations," he stated, questioning PTI leaders about which relationship their party founder remained loyal to. "That person uses people, don't let yourself be used."
