Senior Minister and provincial president of Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) Rahim Dad Khan asked militants on Wednesday to lay down weapons and surrender as problems could not be solved through use of guns. "Come to the negotiating table as problems could be solved only through dialogues," said the senior minister while talking to the media at hunger-strike camp staged by the All Contract Lecturers Association (ACLA) NWFP in front of the Peshawar Press Club to press the government for acceptance of their demands.
Regarding the Hangu operation, the PPPP senior minister, who holds the portfolio of planning and development in the provincial cabinet, said there was no military operation in Hangu, adding it was a reaction to what the militants did there. |
