Pakistan’s targeted military action against militants in Waziristan will be beneficial in the long run as the Taliban are not serious about peace talks, Advisor to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs and National Security Sartaj Aziz said on Thursday.
His remarks came amid speculation that the Government is on the verge of launching a major military offensive in North Waziristan tribal region following the apparent failure of peace talks with the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan. Aziz said terrorist hideouts were precisely targeted in North Waziristan.
Talking to reporters here, he said the dialogue had not yielded positive results so far. The targeted action in Waziristan would be beneficial in the long run, Aziz was quoted as saying by Dawn News.
