Former finance minister Ishaq Dar said on Sunday that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leaders were required to follow the prescribed rules during the coalition talks.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Dar said: "It was decided that no member or leader of the coordination committees formed by both sides would comment on the progress of the ongoing discussions or the points discussed."
"The final points have not yet been resolved between the two parties, and consultations on the various proposals continued until yesterday," Dar stated.
He said: "Four rounds of consultations have been completed, and the fifth session is scheduled for Monday (February 19)."
Dar added, "Important progress is expected at tomorrow's meeting. The two sides will issue a joint official announcement once the consultations are completed."
"It is not appropriate to discuss anything before the end of the consultation, according to the procedure agreed upon between the two parties," maintained the former finance czar.
