Lies my ***, everyone knows Imran stance on taliban. He's never wanted a military operation against them. This here that you posted is nothing but saving face now that he knows public overwhelmingly is against the talibs.
Otherwise watch his last month interview with Talat Hussain, TH starts off with Zarb-e-Azb and Imran wasn't giving him a straight answer on whether he's with the army or the talibs.
We know where he stands, show me one statement where he said good job army for destroying ttp. He's crying on the inside. Hence, Ro Imran Ro!!!!
You said:
To this date, he still does not agree with the military operation.
which is false.
Even if he agreed to it for 'saving face', he did say that he agrees to it. So saying that "to this date, he still opposes the operation" is, in fact, a lie.

I disagree with Imran Khan's previous stance on the Taliban. Though his idea of negotiating is reasonable, I believe the Taliban need to be wiped out. However, any local tribes etc who are willing to negotiate should be given a chance to negotiate. TTP are all terrorists, the tribes are usually not.
Calling Imran Khan a TTP supporter on the basis of his idea of negotiating is simply wrong.
how me one statement where he said good job army for destroying ttp.

His answer was pretty straightforward: "jahan tak terrorism ko khatam karna hai, ap aur me aik hi page par hain" He also made the pretty valid point that military operations within the country are generally counter-productive.

He's never wanted a military operation against them.
This is true. But the reason is very important. He doesn't oppose an operation because he loves the Taliban, he opposes an operation because he thinks they are counter-productive. He is actually right about most of his points, such as:
"Military operation by itself is liye counter productive hai ke cancer ka ilaaj disprin se hota he".
He also said that he would support an operation if it was part of a larger political strategy, such as trying to cut off the Taliban's support base by gaining favour of the locals. That, again, is a very valid point and a good idea.
No support base=no new recruits=no more Taliban.
The way I see it, Imran Khan wants to eliminate the Taliban but not with Military operations. Again, he makes some valid points like the one about what happened to East Pakistan.
Listen to that portion of the interview again and tell me which part of that doesn't make sense. Tell me, using logic, why you think Imran Khan is wrong.
