Opposition Leader in National Assembly and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) senior member Syed Khursheed Shah has questioned the rationale of talks with Taliban.
Khursheed Shah was talking to media at Sukkur airport on Friday, where he said that the Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali had earlier said that any incident of terrorism will now be deemed a bid to sabotage the process of dialogue. Shah asked whether the government still wants talks with the militants after the ongoing incidents of terrorism.
The opposition leader said that after present incidents the dialogue would not be of any benefit.
He said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will have to take decision now as a leader, whether to talk with Taliban or not. He said protection of the life and property of the people is the foremost responsibility of the government.
The government holding talks with Taliban but doesn’t contact with the wellwishers of the country, he observed.
Government is running after Taliban for peace talks but the recent attacks show that clearly indicate their state of mind, he stressed.
He is correct…negotiating with terrorists only empowers them by giving them legitimacy…the western world learned that years ago but Pakistan has yet to understand that lesson…they are terrorist and barbarians who kill indiscriminately…talks are not the answer…a strong attack on TTP strongholds and rounding up of radical mullahs who support these killers is what will stop them..nothing less will bring peace to Pakistan…it may already be too late..
