Pakistan foreign office has said that holding talks with militants was an
essential part of its policy, but the federal government wont hesitate in
resorting to military action against those extremists who dont renounce
violence.
Foreign Office Spokesman, Muhammad Sadiq said that talks would be held with
only those militants who renounced violence and did not use its soil for
subversive acts against any other state.
Ruled out the possibility of dropping the option of military action against
those militants who refused to shun the path of violence, he said, the
security requirements will not be abandoned or ignored. Negotiations with
tribal leaders and notables are aimed at supplementing military efforts with
political ones.
Political engagement is an essential part of our policy but it is possible
only with those who renounce militancy and violence, do not allow the use of
Pakistans territory against any other country and do not help foreign
terrorist elements to find hideouts in our territory, The Nation quoted Sadiq
as saying.
When asked about the construction of dams by India, Sadiq said Pakistan had
been pursuing the policy of energy security adding that Indus Basin Treaty
was very helpful in solving any such problem. (ANI)
