ISLAMABAD: The federal government extended on Saturday the deployment of Rangers in Islamabad and parts of Punjab until October 15 amid security measures ahead of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf\u2019s (PTI) planned long march.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a notification issued by the Ministry of Interior, 3,000 Rangers personnel will remain deployed in Islamabad until Oct. 15. The deployment has also been extended in various districts of Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rangers had initially been deployed in Islamabad from September 20 to Oct. 5<\/a> in view of the PTI\u2019s planned Sept. 27 long march. The party later postponed the march and announced Oct. 4 as the date for its Islamabad protest.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rangers to perform assigned duties<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sources said the extension was made at the request of the Islamabad chief commissioner and Punjab Home Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rangers will perform duties assigned by the Islamabad chief commissioner and the provincial government, according to the sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, a second round of talks<\/a> between the government and the opposition over the PTI\u2019s long march has begun in the Speaker\u2019s Chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to reporters after arriving at Parliament House to attend the second round, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja said the day was important for the Pakistani nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the PTI had come to the talks to discuss matters and turn the strength of the people into the strength of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PTI reiterates key demands<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Raja said the party had already presented its basic demands and would reiterate them during the talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are demanding the release of prisoners, and we will not compromise on Imran Khan\u2019s health,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the party\u2019s basic demand was access to PTI founder Imran Khan and that it wanted to restore \u201cdecency, the Constitution and justice\u201d in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf they do not agree, then we will stand with the Pakistani nation,\u201d Raja said, adding that people wanted Imran Khan\u2019s release and justice in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first round of talks was held a day earlier under National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq. Both sides described the meeting as \u201cpositive\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government assures compliance with court order<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

According to sources, both sides presented their demands during the talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PTI demanded permission to meet Imran Khan and implementation of a court order concerning his transfer to hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government delegation, meanwhile, linked acceptance of the PTI\u2019s demands to the \u201ccancellation or postponement\u201d of the Oct. 4 long march.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government side also assured the PTI that the court order concerning Imran Khan would be implemented, according to the sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
