TTP only want to get out of US war, not impose sharia by force: Imran Khan

[Da Bannu Mazdigar]

ISLAMABAD: The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) only want to get out of America’s war and not impose sharia law by force, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan claimed on Thursday.

Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Imran stated that he had been saying the same thing for the past ten years.

Commenting on the success of the ongoing peace negotiations, the PTI chief said the interaction between the government and the TTP has made it clear which groups want peace and which do not
.
The government committee met the TTP Political Shura in a remote tribal area on March 26 and it was agreed to continue with the peace talks. There were reports of an extension in the month-long ceasefire but TTP spokesperson Shahid Shahid denied any such reports.

Today, Imran further said that ceasefire should continue and the non-combatants – women, children and the elderly – should be released.
The TTP have demanded the release of women and children of TTP members alleged in the custody of security agencies and this was one of the main topics of discussion during the meeting between the government intermediaries and TTP Shura

Ceasefire extended between government and TTP

PESHAWAR: The ceasefire between government negotiators and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) intermediaries was extended on Wednesday, Express News reported.
Sources told The Express Tribune that the ceasefire will remain till there is a deceleration of success or failure of the peace talks.

Peace negotiations began as the TTP intermediaries and the government negotiators reached North Waziristan to meet the TTP Shura earlier on Wednesday.
They travelled to Miranshah via a helicopter from Peshawar and then proceeded to an undisclosed location to meet the TTP Shura. The meeting has previously been postponed twice due to bad weather.

Before starting the negotiations the government committee contacted Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan telling him that they have reached the location safely.
The much-anticipated direct talks are being attended by all four members of the government’s reconfigured negotiating committee, TTP intermediaries and members of the TTP Shura.

The government committee consists of former ambassador Rustam Shah Mohmand, Additional Chief Secretary FATA Arbab Arif, Secretary Ports and Shipping Habibullah Khattak and Additional Secretary to Prime Minister Fawad Hasan Fawad.
While, the TTP intermediaries are Maulana Samiul Haq who is the head of his own faction of the Jamiat Ulema Islam (Sami group), Jamaat-e-Islami’s Professor Ibrahim , and JUI-S spokesperson Maulana Yousaf Shah.

Prof Ibrahim told Express News that ceasefire was the top priority and both the committees have their points ready for the peace negotiations. He also said that TTP Shura would be represented by its four-member team consisting of Qari Shakeel, Azam Tariq, Maulvi Zakir and Maulvi Bashir.

He further stated that the TTP intermediaries were mere facilitators and will mediate between the TTP leadership and the government committee.
During the face-to-face meeting, the government will also push the TTP to extend the one-month ceasefire announced by the group on March 1.

On March 24, the government had finalised its strategy at a meeting attended by the government negotiators, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Director General Lt Gen Zaheerul Islam.
The participants had held consultations on the agenda for peace talks, an official statement issued by the interior ministry had said without giving details

With Nawaz Govt and Peace aswell.We can expect a Economic Boom

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

What rubbish! This man always speak nonsense. It is a big slap on the faces of those people who have suffered from the so called sharia of TTB in SWAT, Waziristan and other areas. It means what they did with the people of Swat was just for entertainment purpose. Infact the people of Swat were US Allies and they were working for the United states so TTP has to slaughter them and enforce their own law there. :D

Imran Khan is a very naive person, he will believe anything the TTP say. Despite them killing so many thousands of innocent people. I wonder what is his motive?

I won't be surprised if you weren't sent over here by the dozen by someone for the sole purpose of bringing down the quality of discussions in this forum. Ever since ****s like you started appearing here, this place hasn't been the same.

[Badlun]

This is stupidity to detach Taliban and Sharia. Sharia is their main linchpin. On the name of Sharia they are robbing people, killing people and destroying Pashtunwali and Pashtunland.

They oppose Americans because Americans stand for human rights, democracy, development and prosperity.

[RevolutionThroughReason]

More proof that the Taliban do not represent Shari'ah but rather backwards Pashtun customs and Pashtunwali
