PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said the party’s parliamentary group would work to reverse the emergency and governor’s rule imposed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which the group condemned after an eight-hour meeting. He said the meeting did not discuss a proposed 28th Constitutional Amendment and warned against rushing controversial legislation, while emphasizing public consent and national consensus on creating provinces. Separately, opposition leaders discussed cooperation, political prisoners, an all-parties conference and a proposed new Charter of Democracy. Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-e-Pakistan vice chairman Raja Nasir Abbas accused the PPP of supporting the measures undemocratically and called for national dialogue and opposition unity.

PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan rejected claims that Mahmood Khan Achakzai had lost Imran Khan's confidence and said there had been no discussion about making JUI-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman the National Assembly opposition leader. Gohar said Imran had chosen Achakzai and Raja Nasir Abbas to guide the party and that the decision remained Imran's. He also discussed requests for production orders for arrested lawmakers, an internal show-cause notice, PTI's talks with the government and his claim that seeking a meeting with Imran led to governor's rule. Gohar recounted an effort to arrange an Imran video statement and alleged that a statement attributed to former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Sohail Afridi was AI-generated.

PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan says the party has accepted the government's offer for talks ahead of its planned October 4 march, with representatives expected to meet at the National Assembly speaker's office. Opposition figures say negotiations should have no preconditions and describe the march as peaceful, while maintaining demands that include the release of PTI's jailed founder and the restoration of constitutional supremacy. Gohar warns that imposing governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa could increase tensions. TTAP chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai objects to meeting the prime minister or speaker in their official offices and challenges the government's legitimacy.

Police detained Aleema Khan in Lahore under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance and reportedly transferred her to Kot Lakhpat jail. PTI leaders condemned the detention, called for her release and said several party lawmakers had also been taken into custody. Barrister Gohar Ali Khan reiterated that the party intended to pursue its demands peacefully, while supporting negotiations with the government despite little progress. PTI has announced a nationwide protest and a September 27 march to Islamabad seeking Imran Khan's release and constitutional supremacy. The report also describes court restrictions on the use of public resources for the march and assurances from PTI that it would not break the law or use government resources.

PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan said the joint opposition will convene an All Parties Conference to discuss creating new provinces and other national issues. Following talks with JUI-F leaders, opposition parties agreed to broaden consultations, including on the proposed September 27 protest, prisoners, the rule of law and constitutional supremacy. TTAP chief Mehmood Khan Achakzai said the conference would be held soon because of Pakistan’s deteriorating situation. The initiative follows government calls for debate on new administrative units, including a proposal for 12 to 15 provinces, while ruling coalition partners PPP and PML-N remain divided over the issue.

PTI Chairman Gohar Khan warned that dividing Sindh or any other province without the consent of its people and elected representatives would weaken Pakistan’s federation. He called for broad political consultation, similar to that preceding the 18th Amendment, and opposed rushed or controversial legislation. The debate has intensified after Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi backed new administrative units and Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal proposed 12 to 15 provinces, while the Sindh Assembly and PPP reject altering Sindh’s boundaries. Gohar also urged renewed political dialogue, meetings between jailed PTI founder Imran Khan and opposition leaders or family members, and continued mobilisation ahead of a planned nationwide protest.
