Islamabad: The opposition groups in Pakistan resumed talks with the government in a bid to end the ongoing political crisis in the country.
According to reports, government negotiators met briefly with members of the Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI) party on Wednesday but they left without addressing the media.
Addressing supporters at a rally on Tuesday night, PTI chief Imran Khan said he had no intention of calling the protests off any time soon and reiterated his demand that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should resign.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadr told his supporters to leave the area in front of the Parliament where protesters have been camped out for two weeks.
Parliament called a second emergency session on Tuesday, with senior PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi saying the party was willing to resume talks with the government in the presence of a cross party team.
Khan's party wants Sharif to step down for at least 30 days so that an impartial probe can be conducted into last year's election.
