FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Malik told reporters in Islamabad on Saturday that Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants have nominated Adnan Rashid, a murderer and proclaimed offender, to hold negotiations with the government on their behalf.
Last year, nearly 400 prisoners, including Rashid, escaped from a prison in northwestern Pakistan after it was attacked by about 150 Taliban militants armed with guns and rocket-propelled grenades. Rashid was on death row for his role in an assassination attempt on former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf in 2003.
Malik said that the nomination of Rashid, which he described as a crude joke, shows the TTP’s lack of seriousness to have a sincere dialogue.
In a video message which was given to journalists on February 3, Ehsanullah Ehsan, the spokesman of the TTP, proposed holding talks with the government on condition that certain opposition politicians act as guarantors.
The Pakistani interior minister said that Ehsan has no credibility, adding that TTP militants cannot befool the people by such crude jokes.
“If they believe in Pakistan’s sovereignty, they must stop killing innocent people,” Malik added.
On October 16, 2012, Pakistan offered a $1 million bounty for the spokesman of the TTP, which claimed responsibility for the assassination attempt that targeted 15-year-old activist Malala Yousafzai.
On October 9, 2012, Yousafzai was shot in the head by TTP militants in the town of Mingora for speaking out against the fanatics and also supporting education for girls and women in her home region, the Swat Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Most members of the TTP come from the Pashtun community. It is a society where there is great opposition to education for females and a very low level of literacy.
Thousands of Pakistanis have lost their lives in bombings and other militant attacks since the US-led war in Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001.
