Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Talal Chaudhry on Friday berated the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Expressing his thoughts during the Senate session, Chaudhry stated: "The PTI leadership had held talks with the terrorists and pretended to show goodwill gestures to them [the terrorists]." He assailed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, saying, "The KP chief minister has said to hold talks with those who have been involved in terrorism."
He recalled the PML-N's government tenure from 2013 to 2018, saying, "The wave of terrorism was at its peak, when the PML-N came into power way back in 2013. 3 of the MNAs embraced martyrdom between 2013 and 2018. We came up with the National Action Plan (NAP) and took all the political parties onboard."
"Nawaz Sharif-led government and the parliament had ensured to bring everybody on one page in a bid to end the menace of the terrorism from the country," Chaudhry said.

Separately, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif reacted on Thursday to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur's statement about holding talks with Afghanistan directly.
Expressing his thoughts during the National Assembly Session, Asif said: "The statement made by Gandapur to hold talks with Afghanistan directly is tantamount to attack the federation. There was a need to give such a statement."
The traditions set by NA speaker Ayaz Sadiq should be followed instead of Asad Qaiser. The situation would be in control if Asad Qaiser had upheld traditions.”
