Imran Khan giving NRO to Taliban, says Rana Sanaullah

By Muhammad JuniadPublished On 03 Jan 2023

Prime Minister Imran Khan is ready to give an NRO to the Taliban who killed our people, said PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah.

The 2007 National Reconciliation Ordinance was a controversial law to "promote national reconciliation" with politicians during Musharraf's time and the acronym is now used as a synonym for amnesty.

Rana Sanaullah used the term to describe Prime Minister Imran Khan's remarks given a day earlier in an interview with TRT World. "We are in talks with some of the groups on a reconciliation process," he said.

Rana Sanaullah was speaking outside an anti-narcotics court in Lahore Saturday where he is facing charges for smuggling heroin.

Sanaullah said the prime minister was not considering the sacrifices made by the armed forces. Imran Khan can’t shake hands with the Opposition but is ready to shake hands with Faqeer Muhammad, the PML-N leader, said referring to a top Taliban leader. TRT reported that:

"The PM said he is expecting a deal to come out of the talks but again nothing is certain. He also pointed out that he sees dialogue as the only solution and that the government will "forgive" the militants if an agreement is reached."

The government thinks that it is beneath it to talk to the Opposition, Sanaullah added.
