PESHAWAR: The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has asked for two days to decide the location of the meeting between the TTP Political Shura and the government committee, Express News reported on Saturday.
This was decided after the TTP peace talks committee contacted the TTP shura. Professor Mohammad Ibrahim confirmed the TTP request.
On April 23, government negotiators and Taliban intermediaries had agreed to form a subcommittee to look into reservations from both sides in an effort to keep the nascent peace dialogue process. This was done at a joint meeting of the government negotiating team and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan’s intermediary committee.
The meeting was convened by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to look into the situation against the backdrop of TTP’s refusal to extend their 40-day ceasefire. The government has already made it clear that it would not be possible to move ahead with talks in the absence of ceasefire.

Nora league failing in power crisis, law and order crisis as well as economic crisis...all those promises which brought them to power. What's the point of electing those who can't deliver?
Request for meetings while they keep on killing our people, makes no sense. Pak govt./ Army should allow the insects to gather up so they can bomb that area to bits.
Killed 4 people minutes from my house yesterday and these (expletive) are looking for a reprieve??????????????????????????????
Like nawaz run away after signing his request for pardon to save his life, he now scared of Taliban Shame on these pseudo leaders
We should accommodate the Taliban give them a new venue-site program the location on a drone attack zone and hit the "push" button!
Only a country like Pakistan will allow known terrorist a place at the negotiations table these same people are attacking its innocent citizens, its journalist and children. This puts a huge spotlight on the politicians, security forces and the citizens of Pakistan * who do not inherit any *backbone of courage to eliminate this vicious virus from the homeland.
The Talibans should know that they are dealing with people from the Government of different culture, speak different language and are not reliable. of Ibrahim should not stick his head into sand.

Amazing to see this farce still going on while innocent people getting killed at the same time. They have spent more time discussing the venues of meeting than any substance. TTP has yet to acknowledge thw release of the 'non-combatants' let alone reciprocate. We have an interior minister who is more a minister/spokesman of TTP than acting as responsible for internal security/law enforcement.
Taliban menu list keep expanding. Nora league is working as there waiters.
