Speaking on the occasion, Chaudhary Shujaat and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said that the decisions taken during a meeting with the other committee should be implemented first and then talks would be on other issues.
Chaudhry brothers also said that talks with the government would only be held after previously negotiated matters become a reality.
