Context and Implications
The denial comes amid a swirl of political maneuvering and ongoing nationwide PTI protests. Geo News had claimed that PTI leadership was exploring contact with the ruling coalition to possibly halt demonstrations, suggesting some concessions might be offered. Sheikh Waqas’s response starkly contradicts this narrative.
By firmly rejecting any negotiation, the PTI appears determined to maintain its protest momentum and preserve public trust in its opposition credentials. Sheikh Waqas emphasized that all communication would be rooted in the founder’s directives, and PTI will not deviate from its demands or compromise principles

Conclusion
Sheikh Waqas Akram has confirmed the Geo News article is false. PTI has not initiated any talks with the government, and there is no sign of any planned dialogue. The party stands firm on its demands and continues its protest campaign without any compromise.
