| PPP ready for talks with Taliban, says Kaira |
| 2013-01-07 |
| [Dawn] Federal Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira said on Saturday the PPP was ready for talks with everyone, including bully boys. "The PPP is ready for dialogue with anyone, even the Taliban," he remarked while answering a question here. The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain has offered the government 'conditional talks' for peace. He said the nation was worried about the announcement made by Dr Tahirul Qadri about his planned march on Islamabad on Jan 14. "Dr Qadri should better approach the Election Commission of Pakistain if he has any objections to the electoral process," he said. Mr Qadri should first decide about taking part in the election and then get his party registered with the ECP in line with the constitutional process, he added. Mr Kaira said the caretaker set-up would be formed after consultation with all stakeholders. He said anything against the Constitution was unacceptable and all suggestions within the domain of the Constitution would be welcomed. He said the PPP was pursuing the reconciliation policy because it believed in the unity of people and not in their division. The PPP had kept all its coalition partners on board while taking decisions. |
