ISLAMABAD: Rana Sanaullah, Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs, emphasized the crucial role of political dialogue for the success of a parliamentary democracy.

He remarked, “Political dialogue is the only way to bridge differences and find common ground.”

The PML-N leader pointed out that while it is unrealistic to expect one side to fully agree with the other, mutual respect and understanding of each other’s positions are vital.
