While speaking about the insurgency in tribal areas in the National Assembly, the lower house of the parliament, Gilani reiterated his administration's resolve to pursue the policy of 3Ds (dialogue, development, deterrence) in the belt which Washington considers as the center of Taliban and al-Qaeda remnants.

He pledged to hold talks with tribes in the country's northwest who are ready to surrender their arms to the tribal agents of their respective areas, local Urdu TV channel DAWN News reported.

"We are ready to hold talks with those who will voluntarily decommission to the tribal agents. We are ready to bring them into mainstream," he said.

However, the Prime Minister ruled out any dialogue with those working on foreign agenda.

"Militants have to give up insurgency against the people of the country," Gilani added.

He said that Pakistan had to suffer more casualties and sacrificed more than NATO in "war against terrorism."

Gilani also said that a stable Afghanistan was in Pakistan's greater interests.

As the United States' ally in the anti-terror war, Pakistan launched several military operations in the trial area bordering Afghanistan in recent years to eliminate insurgency, during which thousands of militants were killed.
