Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry announced on Monday that a complete ceasefire had been reached between the government and the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), according to state-run Pakistan Television (PTV).
The state broadcaster quoted the minister as saying that talks between the government and the TTP were underway in line with the Constitution and that the ceasefire would be extended keeping in view the progress of the talks.


"The state's sovereignty, national security, peace in relevant areas and social and economic stability will be considered during the talks," he said.

Chaudhry added that the interim Afghan government had facilitated the negotiations.
The minister said progress on the restoration of "complete peace" in these areas of the country was a positive development.
The announcement comes a little over a month after Prime Minister Imran Khan had stated that the government was in talks with some TTP groups, seeking a reconciliation.
"There are different groups which form the TTP and some of them want to talk to our government for peace. So, we are in talks with them. It’s a reconciliation process," the premier had said during an interview with TRT World.
Tentative understanding with TTP
Earlier this month, sources familiar with the development had told Dawn that the government had reached a tentative understanding with the TTP to seek a broader peace agreement to end nearly two decades of militancy in the country.

Sources had said the “direct, face-to-face” talks between the two sides being held in Afghanistan’s south-western Khost province for nearly two weeks had resulted in a tentative understanding to declare a countrywide truce, conditional to the release of some TTP foot soldiers as part of confidence-building measures.
It was not immediately clear how many militants in Pakistan’s custody would be allowed to go free, but sources had said the number was not more than two dozen people. “These are foot soldiers, not senior or mid-level commanders,” the sources said. “We are testing the ground. We are cautious,” they had added.
“The truce will come into effect once the prisoners are released,” these sources had said, requesting not to be named because they were not authorised to speak to the media.
“The tentative month-long truce shall be extendable, depending on how these negotiations go forward,” a source had said.
The interior minister of Afghanistan’s Taliban regime, Sirajuddin Haqqani, has been playing a mediating role between Pakistan and the TTP, bringing the two sides under one roof to engage in face-to-face talks, another source had said.
“Talks are being held directly between senior officers and senior TTP leadership. The TTP includes all groups without exception,” the source had added. “There are several proposals on the table and both sides are working to hammer out a workable solution.”
This source had made it clear that no tribal intermediaries were being engaged in talks with the TTP leadership at the moment. “They will be engaged at the appropriate time,” the source maintained.

So the murder of children will be condoned and swept under the rug. For what? A peace treaty that isn’t worth the paper it was written on.

Why is Pakistan negotiating with groups like TLP and TTP? From the outside it looks like an admission of defeat and surrender to terrorists.

From a militarily point they make good soldiers.. Someone who keeps his words is trustworthy

TLP and TTP aren't the same thing
one is a terrorist group other is a far-right political party

Shameful day. We have betrayed 70,000 pakistani lives today. We have betrayed all LEA’s enforcers who lost their lives fighting this war. We have betrayed the children of Pakistan. We have betrayed the people of FATA and those tribes who supported us. Our government and establishment are coward scums.

It shows again how we are just a banana republic. No debate or vote in parliament and they took this unilateral decision jesay inkay baap ka mulk hai. National action plan? Does anyone even remember that? We have got a strong reality check, maybe we can stop doing bhangra now over afghani stone age dwellers being back in power in afghanistan. I am so disappointed today.

Shut up pajeet


Pakistan can't and won't fight a war for eternity

Keep that in mind
Who said we are fighting it for eternity? That is what the national action plan meant to mitigate. How much has that been implemented? Zilch because of pathetic weak resolve. Our priorities are all over the place. When your military is more interested in plots, farmhouses and meddling in the government installing their puppets. That is when you know how fucking fragile you are from inside. We have effectively surrendered here.

Then go fight them at the front line. Enough sons of the soil have died while you and others like you watched comfortably from the sidelines

National action plan can't beat TTP

Only way to beat it is kill all of TTP leadership and foot soldiers hoping no one else would replace them. Torkham Border is open. You are more than welcome to cross it and go kill all of TTP

Surrendering my Azz this is not Pakistan's war in the first place just because of uncle sam? Don't think for a second that was our war we were mislead into that garbage.. Time to recruit my boys into armed forces and re-instate them into the armed forces we need these bastards out there or perhaps create a new unit or division like Punjab rangers like a special forces numbering 20-30k Fadyeen place these at borders. I wanna sleep at night even more better

No...

This negotiation allows peace to finally prosper and the fighting to de escalate. It ultimately destroys indias terror financing, making it all go for nothing. The CF is good.

TTP is not one homogenous entity rather many different groups with their own agenda. If you are referring to APS attack, those who were involved are already send 10 feet underground long time ago. Besides, APS terror attack was sponsored by India so your randi rona is not making any sense what so ever.

If you read the news, its Siraj uddin Haqqani, the haqqani network which facilitated this ceasefire. Which by your government own admission, is Pakistani proxy.

Pakistani state needs to move quickly to fry bigger fishes, like regional connectivity and trade. And for that peace and stability is paramount in Afghanistan and our border areas. We cant afford perpetual conflict which will derail our long term interests.

The ceasefire is based on the constitution of Pakistan which means the other side has accepted its supremacy, and that is where penny drops.

It literally breaks my heart to hear this news. I have lost family at the hands of these Mardood Khawarji Dogs of TTP. Pakistan has lost over 80000 people due to terrorist activities of the scums. PTI govt is leaving behind a legacy of succumbing to such terrorists. This is a surrender by state of Pakistan no one should have any illusions about it being anything else. At a point where we could have broken their back our Military decided to bend its own arse instead in-front of terrorists. We lost 140 Children at the hands of these terrorists in APS attack. I swear to Allah i am a strong person never show my emotions but this brought tears in my Eyes.

I have supported imran Khan in thick and thin. I dont give a damn about mehangai or even if i had to eat less for sake of my country. This i will not firgive. Mein zindagi mein pehli baar PTI aur Imran Khan pay lanat bhaijta hoon. Now he is at same level as Nawaz and Zardari.

I will make it short for you.....


We are not here for nor is it in our interests to fuking use time wrestling with some of our own this is not the time for that. We are facing an extremist element on our border...

By Allah I don't care how many people members you have lost but I will myself end You if you stray from our stragetic goals which is focussed on gangu anyone who strays from that will be sorted out.. Hence Anyone trying to lash out against TTP should use that energy against the gangus that is where I will be needing you and if you fail me there I will shoot you myself:tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup:
