ISLAMABAD:
A full-scale military operation in North Waziristan was not in Pakistan’s favour, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairperson Imran Khan said on Monday.

Imran was speaking to the media in the capital city.

The PTI chief emphasised that the country had been saved from destruction after the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the government decided to halt armed attacks and resume the peace talks.


“God has given us another chance to solve the issue peacefully and move in the right direction,” Imran remarked.

He reiterated his stance regarding US involvement in terrorism in Pakistan and said America doesn’t want peace in Pakistan until it withdrew forces from Afghanistan.

“The US wants to keep Pakistan Army engaged in skirmishes with the Taliban while it exited Afghanistan,” Imran said.

The PTI chairperson called on the government and the TTP to work together and isolate those elements that are against peace.
