Government in indirect contact with TTP: Shaikh Rasheed

Islamabad (HRNW) Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed has said that Pakistan is in indirect touch with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.

At a press conference on Sunday, he clarified that direct communication with the outlawed organisation has not taken place.

Last month, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that the government and the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan have reached a complete ceasefire. The negotiations were facilitated by the interim Afghan government

While talking about Nawaz Sharif’s return, Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed offered to pay for former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s fare to return to Pakistan. “I am allowing him a one-sided ticket as well.”

At a press conference on Sunday, he said that the PML-N leader “created a drama” to leave the country. “He [Nawaz] never visited a doctor. All he did from there [London] was attack the judiciary and establishment.”

“Three members of his family are here. If Nawaz wants to come, he can too. Imran Khan is not going anywhere,” the minister pointed out.
