The Opposition has criticised the government for its decision to hold talks with some groups of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) without consulting it and has called on PM Imran Khan to take the Parliament into confidence over the issue.
A few days ago, Prime Minister Imran Khan had revealed in an interview with TRT World that the government of Pakistan was holding peace talks with some groups of the TTP.
PML-N Senator Irfan Siddiqui said negotiations with the TTP was a very sensitive issue, adding that it was not appropriate to keep the Opposition in the dark over it. He referred to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s move to include all stakeholders in the process of peace talks with militants.
“Negotiations in the Nawaz Sharif tenure were approved by Parliament,” he said.
He demanded the government immediately convene a session of the Parliament to discuss the issue further.
PPP leader Shazia Marri flayed the government, questioning the terms based on which it intended to forgive the banned outfit.
