The TTP is said to have shared with government negotiators a list of Taliban ‘non-combatants’ – mostly women, children and elderly – who they claim are in the custody of the security forces. The government had also called for the release of some high-profile figures held hostage by the Taliban.
Sources had told The Express Tribune that the government had sought more time from the Taliban intermediaries for tracing the ‘non-combatants’.
Professor Ibrahim today said that the government has not gotten back to the TTP intermediaries as of yet. While speaking to Express News, he said that the ceasefire will continue throughout the dialogue process.

I want this so called professor and the govt of PML-N to tell the nation as to what will be beyond the signing of a peace accord. would the " leaders" of taliban surrender and come down from the mountains and take up their old vocation, like selling vegetables or ordinary labour or would they be part of national policy making ?
Now it should be clear to all that TTP is behind the violence in different parts of the country . Conspiracy theorists , what you want to say in this regard ???
This came as Daily Express reported that the authorities in South Waziristan Agency have released 16 members of the Taliban as a ‘goodwill gesture’. So how many innocents TTP has released?Who is not serious about talks.?Is it so hard to etermine?
Peace at gunpoint is called "surrender".
Peace process is complete. We all know who was killing Pakistanis, and they have now stopped. What is there to talk about now?
The sheer irony in the title............is enough to make one wince.
This sounds like a threat..... do what we told you to do or else.... what a farce this whole thing on negotiations is.
