Achakzai told the leaders that the demand should remain a prerequisite for negotiations and that no alternative arrangement should be accepted, the sources added.
His directive follows remarks by PTI Secretary-General Salman Akram Raja, who said on Wednesday that the party would not compromise on Imran Khan’s medical treatment, access to his personal doctors or meetings with him.
Speaking to Samaa TV in Islamabad, Raja said there had been no formal contact with the government to resume negotiations. Informal discussions between political leaders were, however, continuing at Parliament House.
