KARACHI: Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah on Saturday said that opposition parties will support the government's initiatives to bring peace in the country
He said these peace initiatives include dialogue with Pakistani Taliban, if this was in the interest of the country and the nation.
The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader was speaking at a seminar titled “Struggle of People's Youth of Karachi Division for Democracy: Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and her Companions” at Karachi Press Club.
Khursheed Shah urged the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government to make up its mind without wasting anymore time of the nation regarding dialogue with the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) or launching a military operation against them.
“The government should take every step for the safety and integrity of the country,” he said.
Shah also hailed SP CID Chaudhry Aslam, who was killed in a suicide car bombing by Taliban in Karachi earlier this week.
