Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami (JUI-S) chief Maulana Samiul Haq has said that the drone attack on Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan deputy chief Waliur Rehman had sabotaged the peace process between the militants and government.

In an interview to a private TV channel, Haq said: “Whenever peace talks are proposed, America sabotages the process.”

The JUI-S leader said that Pakistan must prove to the Taliban that it was not complicit in Rehman’s killing, adding that the killing of the militant commander was not only a major loss for the TTP, it was also a loss for all of Pakistan. “Our entire country is burning in this [TTP] fire.”
