Taliban should give up arms for talks: Saad Rafiq
SAHIWAL: Federal Railway Minister, Khawaja Saad Rafiq Sunday said that if Taliban wanted to hold talks, then they should give up arms, get under the banner of Pakistan flag and accept the constitution of Pakistan, Geo News reported.
Talking to media at the railway station here, Khawaja Saad Rafiq said that the government stands firm on holding talks with Taliban, but because of its numerous groups it was difficult to make out as to who would represent Taliban in talks.
Saad Rafiq further said that Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif’s meeting with his Indian counterpart would prove fruitful. He said that we want peace on the border, but there could not be any compromise on the disputed issues, adding in case of aggression a befitting reply would be given.
Pakistan Railway is beset with the piles of garbage accumulated over 40, which would be cleared in next four years, said Saad Rafiq.
