Opposition Leader in National Assembly Syed Khurshid Shah has said that the Taliban are criminals and the anti-state elements need to realise that writ of the government is intact in the country.

Talking to reporters at the airport, Khurshid Shah said that their soldiers were brutally martyred in broad day light steps needed to be taken to control such incidents.

The enemies and the anti-state elements needed to make realise that writ of the government was intact in the country and it could not be challenged so easily, he added.

He said the Taliban were criminals. Islam is a religion of peace and preaches peace and tranquillity and there is no room for terrorism in Islam, he added.

He said some criminal elements by portraying to be preachers of Islam could not fool the people of this country. The manner in which they carry out their barbarism was unprecedented, Shah added.

He said there seemed to be no direction of talks with the Taliban and the PM should make a firm decision in this regard. “I assure him that his (PM’s) chair is under no threat. He just needs to make a decision like a true leader and strengthen the state.” All the decisions for peace needed to be made with a consensus, he opined.
