Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz’s (PML-N) senior leader Javed Latif objected on Monday to the ongoing negotiations between the ruling coalition and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and said that talks were not possible with “terrorists” and "those who weaken institutions". Both sides contemplated on developing a consensus on simultaneously holding general elections across the country. Latif furthered that it is better if the people sitting in the institutions confess their mistakes, adding that “negotiations outside of the Constitution cannot be done at anyone's will”. The PML-N leader also said that the party will not accept elections without the participation of party supremo Nawaz Sharif in any way. It had sought time for seeking an opinion of the allied parties’ leadership by Tuesday.
