Imran Khan favours talks only with reconciled militants

Chairman‚ Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)‚ Imran Khan has said peace talks should be initiated with only those militants who are ready to renounce violence and accept writ of the state.

In a statement‚ he pleaded to isolate those‚ pursuing the path of violence from those who are prepared for ceasefire and talks within the ambit of the constitution.

He made it clear that those who carried out the attack against the Christian Community and their Church in Peshawar are to be condemned in the strongest terms possible.

Referring to the Interior Minister statement in the Parliament that he cannot confirm which group carried out the attack, Imran Khan said whosoever carried out the attack, they are to be condemned. Nothing justifies the targeting of innocent people and their places of worship.

“This is against the spirit of Islam and the Covenant of Mohammad (PBUH).”

Imran Khan added that if peace is to be given a chance, then it is essential to isolate those who are dedicated to an agenda of violence and to carrying out terror attacks against innocent people, from those who are prepared to have a ceasefire and talk peace within the ambit of the Constitution of Pakistan.

Imran Khan reiterated that nothing, absolutely no reasoning, can justify the killing of even one innocent human being let alone attacking a whole community.

The act of terror against the Christians in Peshawar was an act of terror against all Pakistanis. “We condemn it and its perpetrators unequivocally,” Khan concluded.
