civilians and soldiers are being martyred, and you are demanding something that can also be done through a legal process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Responding to questions about former prime minister Imran Khan, Tarar said his case was before the courts and the government could not decide on his release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cImran Khan\u2019s issue is in court, where he does not appear,\u201d he said, adding that the government could not take a decision regarding his release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the situation in Balochistan, the law minister rejected the <a href=\"https:\/\/humenglish.com\/latest\/sohail-afridi-says-oct-4-pti-march-will-go-ahead-under-all-circumstances\/\">impression<\/a> that the provincial government was confronting the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, sources said National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and briefed him on important constitutional, legal and parliamentary <a href=\"https:\/\/humenglish.com\/latest\/pm-shehbaz-weighs-legal-options-for-kp-as-pti-march-looms\/\">matters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the sources, Ayaz Sadiq also informed the prime minister about his backchannel contacts with the opposition and briefed him on his meeting with a PPP delegation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two also discussed convening the next session of the National Assembly, the sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The developments came as the federal government continued consultations over the situation in KP, with sources saying a decision regarding the province was expected soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PAK SOUCH MEDIA GROUP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daily Pak Souch Newspaper Sukkur \u2013 Daily Pak Special Newspaper Karachi \u2013 Daily Pak Today Newspaper Karachi &#8211;
