ISLAMABAD (Online) - Opposition leader in the National Assembly, Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah has said that government was utterly confused over the “Dialogue with Taliban” issue.

Talking to journalists in his National Assembly chambers on Monday, he said that there was no talk between Nawaz Sharif and President Barrack Obama regarding Taliban issue.

Declaring terrorism as an endemic morbidity, he said that even Ulema had issued their edict against terrorism, stressing government to evolve a comprehensive strategy to eliminate this menace.

Replying to a question, he said that PPP would strongly resist any attempt at privatization of steel mills, warning that any further attempts to privatize any other public assets, or downsizing of employees would be strongly challenged in courts.

He cited the disastrous end -result of some privatizations carried out by PML-N led governments in the past.

Shah said that when PPP left government, 85 institutions had 190 billion shares, which the current government cannot replace with privatizing just 35 institutions.
