LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Tuesday that the whole nation will be ready to fight if dialogue with Taliban failed, adding that the nation has to think whether problems will be solved post-operation, Dunya News reported.
Addressing media personnel at a hotel in Lahore, Khan said the majority of Taliban desire negotiations adding that country’s ‘enemies’ don’t want dialogue to take place.
The whole nation will be united and ready to fight should the dialogue process fail, he said urging people to think if operation will solve the problems.
Earlier, addressing Shaukat Khanum Social Responsibility awards, Imran Khan said that economic growth not possible without elimination of corruption.
Accountability should be equal for everybody; he said adding that Tehrik-e-Insaf is introducing exemplary accountability system in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
PTI chief distributed shields among Shaukat Khanum Hospital’s donor companies and praised the spirit to help poor classes of society.

Imran Khan’s party
PTI emerged as second largest political party in terms of number of votes; yet the party didn’t clean-sweep as opposed to party’s expectations. Imran Khan has termed a number of factors including alleged rigging for the outcome of general elections that took place on May 11 last year.
Imran Khan and war on terror
PTI chief often comes under fire for lamenting America’s war on terror and for terming the domestic insurgencies as the result of US’s involvement including its drone program.
It merits mentioning here that Imran Khan urged Taliban last month for an unconditional ceasefire and his party had vowed to support Pakistan armed forces in case of military operation in North Waziristan.
