AS IT IS 2016-02-03 Pakistan’s Imran Khan Urges Taliban to Talks


Imran Khan – Pakistani sports star and now politician – says he wants to bring peace to the region through talks.


Khan says he wants Afghanistan’s Taliban to negotiate a peaceful resolution to its conflict with the Afghan government.


Khan gave an exclusive interview to VOA at his suburban 1 Islamabad home. He said he believes talks could lead to solutions to regional problems.


The Taliban “must come to the table, and they must resolve this dispute through talks and negotiations,” Khan said. “War is never a solution. In fact, war leads to unintended consequences just like in Iraq and Syria.”  


Khan is a former cricket player, who won the 1992 World Cup for Pakistan. Now, he is a parliamentary leader and major political force in Pakistan.


Because he is a cricket legend, he is popular with many groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan who fight about other issues.


He was opposed to the U.S.-led military invasion of Afghanistan and American drone strikes against suspected militant 2 hideouts in the Pakistani tribal 3 region.


However, he has said he is strongly against Taliban violence, and he supports military crackdowns against the Taliban. Khan said those crackdowns have reduced terrorism.


Khan praised a peace process that includes Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the United States. It is trying to restart peace talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government.


“I think it is a very positive thing. We hope and we pray that there is some sort of peace deal, some sort of a power-sharing agreement and then the Americans leave," he said.
