Negotiator for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Jamaat-e-Islami leader Professor Ibrahim on Thursday said that the TTP negotiating committee would continue to work for the cause of peace irrespective of circumstances, a private news channel reported.

Ibrahim’s comments came a day after the outlawed TTP announced that while it was not extending its ‘ceasefire’, it would keep the dialogue option open provided the government took steps indicating ‘clear progress’ on its two key demands, namely the creation of a demilitarised peace zone and release of non-combatants.

Speaking to media via telephone, Ibrahim said the committee would try to convince the Taliban to extend the ceasefire.

The JI leader said a number of complaints from the Taliban’s end had come forward via the media, adding that the TTP’s concerns should be addressed.

He said contact should continue between the two sides, adding it could soon lead to a resolution.

  1. Ibrahim said the committee would try to convince the Taliban to extend the ceasefire.this ibrahim is talking like the taliban terrorists are his reluctant bride on his wedding night and that he would be gentle with her.this ibrahim, prof. of terrorism?- is flogging a dead horse, so as to get as much out of the govt as possible for himself. his intentions are unclear. there was never any peace process from the outset,- the weak govt was taken for a ride.ibrahim seems to be shaking both ways- like miley cyrus twerking !
