Terrorists should be separated from those ready for peace talks: Imran Khan

PTI Chairman said the attack on All Saints' church needs to be strongly condemned.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said on Monday that if peace talks are to be given a chance, the people who are dedicated to an agenda of violence should be separated from those who are willing to call a ceasefire.

Condemning the Sunday attack on All Saints church in Peshawar he said that people who are willing to talk peace within the ambit of the Constitution of Pakistan should be taken in isolation from those who want to carry out terror attacks against innocent people.

Referring to an earlier statement of Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, he said that the interior minister did not confirm which group carried out the attack and added that whoever was responsible for the attack should be condemned.

"Nothing justifies the targeting of innocent people and their places of worship. This is against the spirit of Islam," the statement said.

PTI chairman stated that Sunday's attack was an act of terror against all Pakistanis.

"We condemn it and its perpetrators unequivocally," said Khan.
