PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has again reiterated his stance that negotiations with the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) should be initiated.
“If America can negotiate with the Afghan Taliban, Pakistan and Afghanistan should also negotiate with them (Taliban),” said Imran while speaking to the media after meeting members of Army Public School (APS) Shuhada Forum.
Imran announced the observance of a minute of silence on December 16 to honour the victims of APS Peshawar. He also announced the formation of a committee to negotiate on behalf of APS Shuhada Forum with the federal government.
Read: TTP does not want to enforce Shariah at gunpoint, says Imran
The committee would take up demands of the forum and will request the government to make December 16 a national holiday in honour of APS victims. It would also request the federal government to bestow Nishan-e-Haider on those who were killed in the attack.
Imran also highlighted the dangers faced by Muslim countries from groups such as the Daesh or the self-styled Islamic State (IS).
Imran Khan had said early last year that Taliban did not want to enforce Shariah in the country at gunpoint but wanted to liberate it from a US led war.
Imran Khan was one of the few politicians in the past who encouraged starting negotiations with the TTP, when other political leaders were strongly opposed to the idea.

Taliban has mascarred 60,000 Pakistanis that includes children,innocent people and army soldiers, they donot accept the writ of the state, and want to have their own Stone Age system. The way USA treats with these criminals is to send them to Guantanmo Bay Detention Camp or drone them. Please donot confuse the nation again.

Have they ever appologised or shown remorse towards their henious crimes against the nation? If TTP is fighting against US then why are they killing innnocent Pakistanis? How many US soldiers TTP have killed? I think the ratio against US and Pakistanis is 0(Us solidiers)-60,000)Pakistanis).

If IK is asking for negotiations with TTP there is something seriously wrong with his thought process . Here Pakistan is loosing hundreds of soldiers fighting TTP terror and IK wants talks.U couldn't have chosen a worser time Mr. Khan.
Will he please clarify which faction of TTP is worth talking to and which group needs to be punished for killing thousands of civilians. If he's so eagar and confident let him start talks on his own and show results. With each passing day I'm loosing confidence in his leadership qualities and have serious doubts whether he can indeed lead a nation. Politics isn't cricket after all.

Imran Khan is simply bold enough to say it even though it maybe unpopular at the moment. Army is doing its job of eliminating terrorist but politicians also need to do their job to help reduce the war but all politicians are silent except Imran Khan.
Most other politician don't utter a world on this issue because of either fear of picking up fight with TTP or fear of people turning up against them.

Pakistan' army force not even close to the American war power and American tried using war for over 15 years to crush them with no luck. Pakistani donot want to try the same thing by indiscriminately killing peoples including women and children.
Those who were involved in Peshawar school killing should be isolated and destroyed for ever and this can only be accomplished by isolating them by initiating talk with those who wants to put down their army against Pakistan.

Make Imran Khan read the history of the 4th khaifa, Hazrat Ali.
Specially the battle of Sifin and the battle of Nahrawan .
Then discuss what lessons we can learn from this

On One side want the day to be national holiday, and a minute to remember them but on other hand want to go back to 0 to give those murderers strength. How many more pakistani kids, men, women , leas will have to give their life before these politicians underatands it?
On other hand they say that ttp is agents of other anti pak forces, then how can you talk with them?

US did no loose thousands of her inhabitants in war with Taliban while Pakistan lost almost 80 thousand lives. APS tragedy happened in PK and despite of that IK is willing to negotiate with Taliban.

I don't understand why Majority of Pakistanis in Pakistan are so much against dialogue. It's the most sane way of fixing the issue. I guess the country is going through so much insanity, that sane options seem insane to the majority.
IK is a leader because he's able to foresee outcomes of our actions at present. That's the quality of a great leader. Negotiations are the only option. Because otherwise, 50 years from now, we will still be calling for bombardment. And at that time this disease would've spread everywhere.
I understand the emotion behind the 26/12. Think of it as the same emotion as Americans had after 9/11. The actions that Americans took after 9/11, were they correct? Today after 15 years, we have determined that they were not the right actions. Similarly, going on and on with this dumb war will be a mistake. Only a great leader can foresee it.

@Scpoon - Wow! IK is the only person who is setting the TONE of politics in Pakistan. He is arguably the most successful person in the world right now. He has broken the 2 old names of politics and thats never happened in the history of Pakistan. Now would you like to rethink what you stated in air?

TTP is serving nato interests by destroying Pakistan in order to destabilize China. TTP will never changer her agenda as dollars are heavier than rupees.
So negotiations are just useless

The Taliban will never settle for a peaceful solution, it is just not in their blood. The only way this can be be eliminated is to educate the new generations and continue the war until the concept of Taliban is completely wiped out. This will take many years and lots of sacrifices. The present mindset of these terrorists is programmed for violence.

@Kash
IK policies are different for Sindh, specially for Karachi.
he wants Army operation over there, he always support presence of any Rangers, Police law in karachi. He does not want Dialogue with Altaf Hussain (MQM) but he wants dialogue with TTP.
This is a Double Standard

Just when I think this man won't disappoint the nation anymore, he just does. PTI is having a few bad days these day.
No negotiations with killers of innocent kids. Most of these Talibs are dead and running. let the noble army clean up the rest.

Taliban didnt attack mainland USA. the Japanese did, and they got nuked in return. the Taliban have repeatedly attacked every part of Pakistan and killed more than 60,000 servicemen and citizens not to mention caused a loss of billions of dollars on the economic and infrastructural front. if USA were in this position, they would destroy their enemy. that is what we need to do too.. obliterate those terrorists, without listening to their apologists such as this guy
