A Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader has said it is easier to negotiate with the Afghan Taliban than Pakistani militant outfits.

Syed Khurshid Ahmed Shah urged the PML-led government in the National Assembly to devise a mechanism to check the mushroom-like growth of militant groups in the country in order to improve the law and order situation, the Dawn reports.

He said that the government should hold a result-oriented dialogue with Taliban to stop terrorism and restore peace in the country.

He further reaffirmed that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will extend full support to the government in this regard.
