PPP with heavy artillery Army on Taliban issue: Khosa
[Pak Daily Times] Pakistain People's Party (PPP) General Secretary Sardar Latif Khan Khosa reiterated on Tuesday that his party stood with the army on the Taliban issue, and termed the ongoing differences between two politicians as to whether the slain Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud is a martyr or not "poisonous for democracy".

The PPP leader issued a statement, reaffirming his party's support for the army against the Taliban and said it had rendered countless services in defending the country.

Khosa appreciated the armed forces for defending solidarity of the country from the internal as well as external aggression and said, "Such poisonous views of the leaders would not weaken army's resolve in defending the motherland." He also lamented the controversy created by the two leaders of religious/political parties. He added that this controversy has created division among political parties and religious-political parties which was not good for democracy.
