Mehreen Zahra-Malik

A reporter, a columnist, a retired army major and ex-envoy walk into peace talks with Taliban. They would’ve been better off going to a bar…

Murtaza Solangi

No counter-terror expert, no senior govt functionary with any institutional memory, no religious expert & no politician. What a committee!

Raza Rumi

After a clear-headed diagnosis, Nawaz Sharif back to square one: 4 member peace talks committee. Most sympathetic to ‘our own people’.

Nasim Zehra

Yes to a time-bound dialogue seeking TTP’s voluntary disarming & its surrender to the writ of the State-all within Constitutional parameters.

Mohammad Malick

Expect terrorists to play dialogue to buy time but things are inevitably moving towards the inevitable. Finally, and hopefully!

Zahid Hussain

Disgusting. Begging murderers for talks. Nothing shakes the rulers. Dialogue with Taliban top priority of govt: Nisar

Tahir-ul-Qadri

Those who want to negotiate with terrorists, are indirectly protecting terrorists and strengthening their wrong philosophy. #Pakistan

Arif Alvi

Welcome PM speech. 4 member commitee is good step, but PM should oversee progress hands on & make give/take decisions with security adv from COAS.

Usman Bashir Bilour

21 days and 120 killed still we want to negotiate with terrorists. Isn’t it very strange? It’s time for a decision.

Maryam Nawaz Sharif

Today, Prime Minister proved he leads and won’t be led! This is how a leader acts. Hold the interest of the state and people supreme.
