ISLAMABAD: A key member of the Taliban negotiating team and the Jamiat Uleme-e-Islam Sami (JUI-S) leader Maulana Samiul Haq said on Thursday that both government and the Taliban should enhance mutual cooperation to unearth the elements who were bent upon sabotaging the dialogue process through violence.
