Sardar Ayaz Sadiq chairs parliamentary talks in Pakistan

In an effort to reduce political paralysis in Pakistan, representatives from the government, the Pakistan Peoples Party, and opposition groups held formal talks at Parliament House. The discussions, chaired by Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, began on October 2, 2026, and continued into a second round on October 3.

The National Assembly Secretariat characterized the meetings as constructive and cordial. The initiative aims to use the parliamentary forum to address national issues through dialogue and compromise rather than confrontation. Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, who has served as Speaker during three separate periods, is noted for his role in facilitating communication between rival political forces.
