Progress in dialogue not possible in tense atmosphere: Nisar

Summary Chaudhry Nisar has said that dialogue process cannot move forward amid needless rhetoric.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Friday said dialogue process with Taliban could not move ahead in an intensive atmosphere and contradictory statements.

Speaking during a ceremony held at Nadra headquarters, he again dispelled the notion of a deadlock in peace talks with the Tehreeki Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

“Those who were supposed to support the dialogue process are busy in hurling allegations at the government through needless rhetoric… they have made a road show out of it,” said the minister without naming anyone.

“Continuation of peace talks would be difficult under these circumstances,” he added.

Chaudhry Nisar said that delay in the next direct meeting with Taliban Shura was due to an internal rift within the militant outfit’s ranks rather than the government.

He expressed annoyance over attempts to create an impression of a rift between the civil-military relations, saying the government’s ties with the Pakistan Army were good before and will remain that way in the future also.
