Pakistan: Nisar not capable of holding talks with Taliban

Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah denied having any understanding with the federal government on the issue of Pervez Musharraf’s trial.

Interacting with media persons after a ceremony here on Wednesday, Shah hoped that the former commando would definitely appear before court after his recovery.

The opposition leader was of the view that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali was not capable of holding peace talks with Taliban. He lamented that Chaudhry Nisar was making childish statements.

“I call on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to take back Nisar’s sword. Otherwise, he will keep using it on government,” he said. Shah said that it was Sindh government’s responsibility to maintain law and order in the province. It was necessary to conduct census before holding local body polls. We have written to Prime Minister in this regard,” he added.
