Another chance given to talk for peace with Taliban

In a fresh bid to give Pakistani Taliban another chance to come to the negotiating table, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today set up a four-member committee to oversee the peace parleys, quashing speculation of an imminent military operation against the banned militant group.

"Since the other side (Taliban) has shown intent to negotiate, we also wish to give peace yet another chance," Sharif said in the National Assembly.

He, however, made it clear that "terror attacks should be stopped. Terror and talks cannot go hand in hand together."
