http://dawn.com/news/1052222/there-should-be-no-talks-with-taliban-mwm
KARACHI: Majlis-e-Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM) leader Allama Nasir Abbas said on Sunday that there should be no talks held with the Taliban.
Speaking at a conference in Karachi's Nishtar Park, Abbas said that terrorists are free to move about and that nobody is arresting them.
"There should be no talks with the Taliban... we will always support the oppressed," Abbas said.
The MWM leader said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is scared to confront terrorists.
At the same time MWM leader Amin Shahidi said that having talks with the Taliban would be like having talks with the devil.
"Having talks with the Taliban means having talks with those who reject the constitution of this country," Shahidi said.
He further stated that the 180 million people of Pakistan are being fooled in the name of dialogue.
When speaking about the security situation in the month of Muharram, Shahidi said that there have always been dangers.
He said that attempts to stifle the Ulema and threats to stop processions during Muharram are being recieved by them.
Sectarian tensions have plagued Pakistan substantialy during the past few years with an escalation in attacks against the country's Shia Muslim community.
