The key demands of PTI include allowing leaders to meet the imprisoned Imran Khan, the release of his arrested sisters, and a resolution regarding actions against terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The PTI long march is scheduled to begin on October 4 from Gandhi Chowk in Lakki Marwat, under the leadership of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, and will conclude on October 8 in Khairabad.
The talks broke down because the government conditioned further negotiations on PTI canceling its march, while PTI refused to proceed unless the government allowed access to Imran Khan and released his sisters.
