Summary The PTI chief says enemies of Pakistan want to sabotage peace process.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has said that there was no justification of killing FC persons. He said that the killing of abducted FC men by TTP was regrettable and a brutal act.

The PTI chief said that the nation wanted peace in the country and such incident could sabotage the process of negotiations with Taliban.

He said that both the government and Taliban were bound to make the peace talks process as result-oriented and both sides should immediately announce ceasefire.

Imran Khan said that enemies of Pakistan were against the restoration of peace in the country. He said the country was being dragged into a useless war.

The PTI chief expressed condolences to the families of the martyred FC officials.

It is to mention here that Tehreek-e-Taliban’s Mohmand Agency faction on Sunday have claimed the killing of 23 FC personnel who were kidnapped in June 2010 from Shoonkri Post in tribal region of Mohmand Agency.

In a video message, the TTP Mohmand Agency spokesman Omar Khalid Khurasani said that the personnel of paramilitary Frontier Constabulary (FC) were killed to avenge the custodial killing of Taliban fighters in various parts of the country including Karachi, Peshawar and Swabi.

He said if the government doesn’t stop killing Taliban supporters, they would also continue to kill forces personnel.
