They said such an approach would lead to rebuilding a peaceful Parachinar.They said that Shia and Sunni scholars were ready to talk, but only an initiator was needed to start the dialogue between them.Keeping in view the background of IRCRA, they requested Tahmeed Jan to conduct workshops for reconciliation between Shia and Sunni sects.
