Nawaz, Raheel must take ‘final decision’
Online
LONDON: Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has strongly condemned the killing of 23 FC personnel by the Taliban in their custody and called for a final decision for peace. Reacting over a letter by Mohmand Agency Taliban chief, which claimed that TTP has killed the FC soldiers to avenge the killing of Taliban fighter, Altaf Hussain said that through bombings and suicide attacks the Taliban have killed hundreds of people including soldiers and police personnel. “With regard to negotiations with TTP, I have been demanding that if the government has to negotiate with TTP, then there should be no further delay in holding talks. “The TTP, however, has turned the talks into a joke and has killed hundreds of Pakistan army soldiers, personnel of paramilitary forces and civilians in dozens of suicide attacks and bombings.” The MQM chief urged the prime mister and the army chief to come up with a joint strategy and take the nation into confidence over the situation. “I appeal to Mr Nawaz Sharif and General Raheel Shareef in the name of Almighty Allah and his last Prophet (PBUH) that now the time for a final decision is upon us, please do not delay the decision any further. Any further delay is likely to cause irreparable damage to the country’s integrity and security”, he said.
