Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has begun preparations for its long march towards Islamabad after negotiations with the federal government failed to produce an agreement.

Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah has made it clear that the march will not be allowed to enter Islamabad. He warned that any attempt to create disorder would be dealt with according to the law.

The warning came after two rounds of talks between the government and PTI ended without a breakthrough. The main dispute reportedly centred on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s proposed role in counterterrorism efforts.
