To all the brave generals, liberals and those with 'balls', who want to crush TTP, I ask what is wrong with this statement from PTI?
I m not PTI at all. But their logic appeals me and thats why I m convinced their approach must be given a chance, which in this sold out muk-muka PMLN govt, I highly doubt.

PTI Core Committee met today and reaffirmed PTI's position on the continuing terror attacks by the TTP which are killing innocent citizens and our soldiers. PTI also showed great concern on the government’s continuing vacillation on giving a clear cut counter terror policy, are both destroying any hope for peace through dialogue.
Press release: PTI position on Dialogue and Military Operation
The PTI Core Committee met today and reaffirmed the following:
The continuing terror attacks by the TTP, which are killing innocent citizens and our soldiers; and the government’s continuing vacillation on giving a clear cut counter terror policy, are both destroying any hope for peace through dialogue.
PTI’s principled position on dialogue was premised on the strong logic that one must divide the adversary so that those who are prepared to dialogue should be separated from the hardcore groups. This position is part of the PTI Manifesto also.
A military operation is always a last resort option and must always have political ownership and guidance so as to give the military national support. We cannot allow our military, whose soldiers have always laid down their lives for Pakistan, to be left isolated without political ownership.� PTI has always recognized the tremendous sacrifices of its soldiers.���
Almost 9 months on, the PMLN government has yet to put in place a cohesive counter terrorism policy and state clearly whether the APC mandate for dialogue was ever operationalised or whether it has never been attempted.
PTI also feels the US successfully sabotaged the peace process with its droning of the peace talks when they were about to commence.
PTI asks the following questions from the government:
Why has PM Nawaz Sharif and his �government failed to evolve a definitive counter terrorism policy almost nine months after coming to power?
Why has the government not given a clear position on status, or lack thereof, of dialogue? In this connection,� PTI� has expressed grave concern over Maulana Samiul Haq’s statement that the government was not serious about dialogue and, what is even more disturbing, his claim that the PM asked him to plead to the Taliban to “spare us (Punjab)”.��
Why is the government abdicating its political responsibility by asking various leaders of political parties to “dialogue” with the TTP when it knows only the government has the legal sanction to do the same?
What has the government done to stop US drone attacks so far despite its own electoral promises?
�
PTI demands the following from the government:
It must immediately brief the NA on what is the counter terrorism policy and the position on dialogue and/or the possibility of an impending military operation. PTI’s concern over military actions is based on Pakistan’s tragic past record of such actions.
It must also hold an in-camera briefing for all the political leaders about the current security situation, including on the talks and time lines of any planned military operations. In case of the latter, PTI also demands to know the parameters of such a military operation. Already disturbing reports are coming in from NWA where aerial bombardment has left the local people shelterless and many, including children, have died in this attack already.� At the very least, the government should have evacuated the area of civilians before allowing any military operation or aerial bombardment.
