Kh Asif denies rumours of negotiations with TTP

Defense Minister Khawaja Asif Monday said that no negotiations and conciliations are being carried out with Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Afghanistan has sought for forgiveness, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Khawaja Asif said that the people were fired upon by Afghanistan after which our army targeted their check post.

The flow of traffic resumed after Afghanistan’s apology. Committees from the border security forces have been formed and no negotiations are being carried out with TTP.

Earlier while condemning the attack, Defense Minister Asif stated that Afghanistan’s internal situations are very stressed and disturbed. Wherever there is an act of terror by TTP in either Pakistan or Afghanistan, it seems to have some connection with the Afghan people. He said that a national security meeting should be held against the attack on Charge d'affaires and it might be called in the next week.
