[Dawn] A politician for the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
on Thursday said that party chief Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight...
's recent statement on Pak Taliban was not an official PTI policy statement.

Asad Umar, a politician for Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI), stated in a conference that the idea for establishing an office for peacetalks with the Taliban was not an official party policy. He added that the statement only reflected the personal views of the PTI leader.

Umar added that it was wrong to criticise those who wished to use peacetalks as a way to fight the rampant terrorism in the country and come to terms with the terrorists. However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
he added that peacetalks go hand in hand with cooperation from the other side.

Umar declared that it was a weakness to insist on peacetalks if terror attacks continued, saying that it was unfair to the country.
