Find political solution to militancy, Imran urges govt

Talking to media, Imran Khan said that the present government has failed to resolve the issue of terrorism and extremism.He said that a political solution should be found to all the problems and talks should be held with those militants who believed in the Constitution of Pakistan. Khan added that action could be taken against those who didn’t accept the Constitution.“Prime Minister and President should tell solution to war against terrorism,” he said.Imran Khan said that The Tehreek-e-Taliban accepted responsibility for an attack on Malala Yousafzai and the PTI condemned it.Reiterating his stance on finding a political solution to the rising terrorism in the country, he said that he had stood against the ongoing military operations in tribal areas as well as the US drone strikes.He maintained that these tactics only help in producing more terrorists rather than eliminating them. “Real success would have been achieved if the areas returned to normalcy immediately after the operations ended”, he added.The PTI chief stressed that the military operations being carried out for the past eight years have failed, but maintained that a military option should be retained as part of a bigger political process.
