Monday’s attack in Karachi quite clearly shows that the Taliban are animals and one does not negotiate with animals.
ISLAMABAD: I hope that our politicians from right wing and religious parties will come out and speak openly against those involved in the killing of eight innocent people in Karachi. Two of the dead include a teacher and a school child. It is those in the religious parties who are in the forefront of saying that the government and the military should negotiate with the Taliban. Monday’s attack in Karachi quite clearly shows that the Taliban are animals and one does not negotiate with animals.
Those who sympathise with the Taliban, and there are many such people in our society, need to open their eyes.
