ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed said on Saturday that high-level talks are underway with some Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) groups seeking reconciliation.
Speaking to the media, the interior minister Sheikh Rasheed ruled out the need for taking opposition parties into confidence on the move.
“There is no need to take the opposition into confidence as they [opposition leaders] are themselves thieves,” he said.
Sheikh Rasheed clarified that groups and members involved in terrorist activities will not be granted amnesty, adding that “it is irrational to fight those who have laid down their arms”.
The case of the terrorists involved in the Army Public School (APS) carnage is also different, the interior minister maintained. “We know who is good and who is bad,” he said.
In an interview TRT World on Friday, Prime Minister Imran Khan said the negotiations with the TTP factions are talking place in Afghanistan.
