ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Taliban nominated dialogue committee Maulana Samiul Haq revealed on Saturday that an American minister recently urged Pakistan for an army operation in Wazirstan.
The Maulana who also heads Jamiat-e-Ulema-i-Islam (JUI-S) said that such an offensive in Taliban dominated areas will only benefit the elements who don’t want peace in the country.
Speaking to media on Saturday, he said that the US minister raised this demand a few days ago.
The famous cleric said that the Taliban distanced themselves from the recent attacks on Pakistan’s armed forces.
Samiul Haq said that every political party had the right to hold protest demonstrations for which he said the time and situation was not favorable in the country. He said this in an apparent reference to Imran Khan and Allama Tahirul Qadri’s planned protest demonstrations.
