Munawar asks govt to contact Taliban before talks
KARACHI: Jamat-e-Islami (JI) chief Munawar Hassan Friday asked the government to contact Taliban before going into the peace negotiations, Geo News reported.

Talking to a news conference here, Hassan said that the details of operations in various areas including Sawat, Buner and other adjoining areas should be made public, adding that Pakistan and Afghanistan are separate countries, however, there was no formal difference in both the countries.

He further said that JI supported decisive talks with Taliban.

To a query, Hassan said that the Taliban should tell clearly what type of guarantees they want from the JI.
