PTI to support army if military operation launched against Taliban: Imran

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Wednesday that his party would stand by the army when times come to launch a military operation against the Taliban.

His statement came a day after several militants including foreigners and key figures were killed in air strikes carried out by Pakistani fighter jets in the restive North Waziristan tribal region.

Talking to media personnel in Islamabad on Wednesday, the PTI chairman said that the government had failed in its bid to hold talks with the Taliban, adding that his party should be taken into confidence if a military operation is to be launched.

Imran said that anti-state elements had triumphed which could have been prevented had the government sought cooperation from the people of the tribal areas.

The PTI chairman said that all political parties had given the government the mandate to begin talks with the Taliban, adding that although Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif circled around the world and made international visits, no good came out of these.
