According to media reports, the two-day talks between the government of Pakistan and the banned TTP, mediated by the Taliban, ended at a hotel in Kabul, after which the government returned to the 57-member jirga comprising tribal elders, politicians and members of parliament. Came
A senior member of the jirga told a local newspaper that the overall atmosphere was very positive. According to the jirga member, Afghan Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani added, “We do not want to force the TTP.
According to Sirajuddin Haqqani, the banned TTP joined hands with us to wage jihad against the Americans and make sacrifices. It would be better for Pakistan and TTP to come to an agreement after giving some concessions to each other. There was and we have our position so there were long discussions.
