Pakistan Braces for PTI Protests After Talks Fail

Pakistan braced for protests on Sunday after negotiations between the government and jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party collapsed.

The talks deadlocked after the government demanded the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party cancel its October 4 protest, while the party sought his transfer to a hospital.

Minister of State for Interior Tallal Chaudhry said talks failed primarily because the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government could not assure cooperation against terrorism.
