Forget another APC on Taliban: PPP
2014-01-20
[DAWN] The Pakistain People's Party has opposed another all-party conference over Taliban issue and asked the Mohammedan League-Nawaz government to better start developing a consensus among the people to launch a military operation against gunnies to establish the state's writ.

The PPP's rejection of another APC came in response to 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....
Chairman Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems...
's Friday proposal of another meeting of political parties so that they could be apprised of the progress, if any, made on talks with the Taliban and to discuss other options in case of government's failure (in talks).

"Imran Khan's proposal is childish. What the government will get by holding another APC over Taliban issue? A mandate has already been given to the Nawaz government five months ago in the APC to first hold talks with Taliban for peace in the country but it has miserably failed so far.

The government should be clear about the second option," PPP Secretary-General Sardar Latif Khosa told Dawn here on Saturday.

"Are five months not enough to kick off talks with the Taliban? How much more time the government needs," he asked, saying the Taliban had repeatedly made it clear to the government that they were not ready for talks.
