Opposition leader in the National Assembly and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) senior member Khurshid Shah has taken a u-turn on his statement against military operation against Taliban.

While talking to media on Sunday morning, he said that if Taliban are supporting dialogue with the government than his party also supports it.

Khurshid Shah who has been very vocal about action against militants has said that during PPP government also held talks with Taliban in Swat but they bore no fruit.

He however mentioned that Taliban have blood of many innocents on their hands including slain former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Therefore, the government should remain vigilant and extra conscious while going into any dialogue with the banned outfit, as Taliban might take this as an opportunity to reorganize themselves.
