Making yet another peace overture to the Taliban, Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain appealed to the outlawed terrorist outfit to stop the bombings in the country for the sake of peace.
Addressing the party workers at the MQM’s International Secretariat London, he also called upon the citizens of the metropolis to exercise patience during the operation and avoid outrage over any unjust measure.
The negotiations, he remarked, between the government and the Taliban were a vital issue in Pakistan; some people favour them while others oppose them. The situation demanded that those at the helm of affairs including political and religious leaders should make in-depth deliberation and take the entire nation into confidence for whatever decision they make in this regard.
Making an impassioned appeal to the Taliban, the MQM chief asked them to halt sabotage activities in the country with no more assaults at soldiers, troopers and citizens on public and military places. They should ponder over the agenda of negotiations offered by the government, he added.
