ISLAMABAD: The federal minister for interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has said that the government in its new committee to hold direct talks with the Taliban will include three or four bureaucrats, stressing that Pakistan army won’t be part of the new committee.
However, the interior minister said that the new committee has the support of Pakistan army. He said that new committee will be announced within two to three days.
On Friday, the opposition leader in the National Assembly and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader Syed Khursheed Shah while talking to media representatives in Islamabad opposed the inclusion of military representatives in the new government committee and said that the military would be blamed if the government’s talks with the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ended in failure.
