Carrying on with peace talks with the Taliban amid terrorist attacks throughout the country would be injustice to the victims of such attacks, senior Pakistani official has said.
Speaking at a press conference, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the military leadership do not intend to carry on with dialogue amid terrorist attacks.
According to Dawn News, Nisar added that the premier wanted to eradicate terrorism through dialogue with the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
He added that with recent terrorist attacks, the government has decided to counter force with force upon consultation with the country's military leadership.
Nisar reiterated that peace talks and terrorist attacks cannot go side by side.
