Mazari said her party would favour dialogue with those militant groups only, that believe in the writ of state and constitution of the country.

The PTI secretary information said that initial efforts would be made to disengage militants from the justification of current war, which would make smooth ground for negotiations.

She said that successful negotiations would only be possible, when all stakeholders will be engaged.
