Why the dialogues with TTP (Taliban’s Terrorist Group)? They are not even a human being.

Killing of a one innocent is equal to kill whole the mankind ( Holy Qur’an)

Sources had said on Friday that the meeting would seek to break the apparent impasse in the peace process, particularly regarding the release of non-combatant prisoners. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed that as many as 400 non-combatants, including women and children, are in the custody of the security agencies. However, the security agencies have refuted these claims.

“The issue could potentially be a deal-breaker in the talks,” said one official, who told The Express Tribune that the TTP had not given concrete assurance regarding an extension of the one-month ceasefire, due to expire next week.

The government and Taliban negotiating teams in their meeting in Islamabad on Saturday reviewed the progress in the recently held direct dialogue between the government team and Taliban Shura, Radio Pakistan reported.

Later talking to newsmen, Maulana Samiul Haq, member of the Taliban-nominated team, said that the agenda for further talks with Taliban Shura would be set during the next few days in addition to determining the venue and date of that meeting.
To a question, he said there was no deadlock in the talks and said progress has been made in the dialogue process.
In this context, let us not forget that Nawaz Sharif’ policy with Saudi Kingdom is totally wrong and it is against the Muslim world as well as against Islam and Pakistan. most importantly the said dialogues are already fixed through the guidance of Saudi Kingdom says the most senior group of journalists. Then what is going on?
The means of the TIP is also very clear that they are working for the Talibanization in Pakistan through killing our innocent ones. They have already killed thousands of our innocent ones. Qur’an says that killing of a one innocent is equal to kill whole the mankind. Then how we can sit together with these killers of whole the humanity? How they can claim as a Muslims? They are not even a human being. Then how and why these dialogues are going on? Are you together making fool to our Muslim nations.

Ex Prime Minister Lt Gen. Pervaiz Musharaf is going to Sharjah? Or the nation will suffer more.

Mother of Ex Prime Minister, Pervaiz Musharaf’s mother is shifted to Sharjah from Dubai in critical condition today. Lt Gen. Pervez Musharaf may be allowed to visit Sharjah for the treatment of his mother, says the journalists in Pakistan. Or otherwise, the Army will not support the said government in any case and the Pakistani nation will suffer more.

It is also important when he is going to charge in a serious case for which he is not a guilty person. His all acts were in the interests of the nation being the head Pakistan Army. The moral of the army is important for every nation says the senior journalists in their views. ISIJ is also support the release of Gen Pervaiz Musharaf in the best interest of the valued nation of Pakistan.

Police team is arranged to arrest him through Police officer SP City and ASP city are nominated if he is not going to attend the court on 31st of March 2014. The government is taking a wrong action and effecting the respect of Pakistani Armed forces in this way of action, which can be a dangerous step against their own political government.

Dialogue with Terrorists, Pakistani nation have to suffer more and more says the journalists in Pakistan.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has said dialogue was the only option it considers right now to address the menace of terrorism and the country’s powerful army was on the same page with the government over the issue.

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said government’s offer of dialogue was unconditional. He said the army completely supports the option of dialogue as the top priority to check terrorism and extremism in the country.

Nisar said he does not want to talk of any other option in case the dialogue does not work. “Our priority is dialogue, and we don’t want to talk of anything else right now”.

Nisar said the PML-N has been opposed to the post-9/11 policies of the Musharraf regime.

“You just go through my speeches in Parliament as Leader of the Opposition; I have always been in favour of dialogue instead of the use of force,” he told The News daily.

Completely endorsing Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s dialogue offer, the Minister lamented that the media recently misreported that the Defence Committee of the Cabinet (DCC) had set the condition that the government would talk to only those extremist groups that would lay down their arms.

“It was totally baseless,” he said, adding the DCC meeting never discussed this.

Asked about the stance of the army and if there was any difference of opinion between the government and the army on the issue of dialogue, Nisar said the civilian government and the military establishment today are enjoying the best of working relationships and are on the same page to pursue the dialogue process.

He doubted there has ever been such an understanding between the civilian government and the military establishment.

The minister said undoubtedly Pakistan lost more than 40,000 civilians, soldiers, policemen and others in terrorist activities, but, he added, it is also a fact that some of those carrying out terrorist activities within Pakistan had also lost their innocent children.

“We need to understand that action leads to reaction,” he said, adding there had been no Pakistani involved in 9/11 but still Pakistan has been dragged into this war, and now our people, our children and our security forces are being killed.

“We have to save and secure our own people from being killed like this,” he said.

To prevent such killings and to ensure peace, he said, the government had made an unconditional dialogue offer to all extremist groups and those pursuing armed struggle against the state, its people and the security forces.

Later in an interview to Geo News, he said the dialogue with the Taliban failed in the past because the rulers were never sincere with the process.

Nisar added another reason for the failure of the dialogue process was that the civilian and military leadership never remained on same page in this regard in the past.

“At some specific time in the past, when the military leadership was inclined for the initiation of dialogue with the militants, the civilian leadership was not interested and vice versa,” he said.

Asked if the “secret agencies” will intervene in the dialogue process or try to sabotage it, Nisar said, “It’s a difficult question”.

“After having long discussion sessions with all the security agencies, I can assure you that this will not happen and the government, army and all the security agencies will move forward unanimously,” he said adding the government is finalising the steps which will ensure close and continuous coordination between different institutions.

But it is clearly a wrong step which might have been taken because of the interest of Saudi regime. Mr Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister  of Pakistan is bound to obey the instructions of Saudi Kingdom as he was given the shelter of life from Saudi King in past. Therefore, the decisions taken into the said dialogues with those who have been found the major terrorists in Pakistan. The armed forces are dominated by these acts of Nawaz Sharif as well as there is no change in terrorist activities. The terrorists having support from Saudi Kingdom are making fool to the Government of Pakistan. Their demand is only to release their terrorists from Pakistani prisons so that they could be more active and strong in future. Pakistani nation have to suffer more and more says the journalists in Pakistan.

They were rushed to hospital where Mustafa was pronounced dead while the condition of Anwar is state to be critical. Rumi is a highly vocal critic of the Taliban and one of the few in the media community here who came out openly against Lashker-e-Jhangji a sister concern of Sipah-e- Sahaba.

It is important to know that General Secretary of Sipah-e-Sahaba a terrorist and sectarian killing group is a Senior minister in Government of Punjab namely Rana Sanaullah who is also involved in Sectarian killings of Rawalpindi in last year.

He also frequently spoke against the sectarian groups and religious fundamentalists in the country. Rumi had recently joined the Express TV channel and was anchoring a talk show.

This is the fourth incident the Express media group came under attack by terrorists. In the previous attacks Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan had claimed the responsibility, saying the group especially its English publication – Express Tribune – is criticising the banned group.

Lahore police chief Shafiq Ahmed has termed the incident “target killing”. He said two teams had been constituted to investigate the matter. The journalist organisations of the country condemned the incident. They said that killers are under the shelter of Punjab Government then who can arrest them? And how they can be traced out of the Province of Punjab? 

Rumi had recently launched a book ‘Delhi By Heart – The impressions of a Pakistani traveller’.
