In a significant development, Pakistan's jailed former prime minister Imran Khan has signaled his approval for talks with the government, aiming to ease the prevailing political tensions. This decision follows a Supreme Court recommendation to initiate dialogue.

Speaking outside Adiala Jail, PTI leader Gohar Ali Khan confirmed that Khan, despite previous refusals, agreed that dialogue was crucial as the political divide was widening. Khan's willingness comes after a Supreme Court observation urged PTI to resolve issues through parliamentary dialogue.

The cricketer-turned-politician, incarcerated for the past ten months on multiple charges, has expressed readiness to open avenues for talks, indicating a significant shift in PTI's stance on negotiations with the ruling coalition.
