ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on Monday agreed to partake in the dialogue being held between the government and the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and has named Khyber Pakhtunkhwa MNA Gulzar Khan as its representative in the government committee, DawnNews reported.

The government had virtually dissolved a committee formed last month when its members recommended the formation of a fully empowered team comprising the interior minister, officials of the army and ISI and the governor and chief minister of KP for direct talks with TTP.

PTI chief Imran Khan has been a staunch supporter of dialogue and has consistently said that a military operation against Taliban is not a solution to the problem.

The PML-N had reportedly been approaching PTI to agree to the inclusion of KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak in the government committee for holding direct talks with the Taliban leadership.

Well-informed sources had told Dawn on Sunday that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had been in constant touch with Khan and had met him several times in recent days at the Parliament House and at his Islamabad residence.

A source in the PTI had also confirmed the meetings and said the interior minister had requested Khan to let Khattak join the government committee.

There were reports on Sunday that Nisar would also hold a meeting with the PTI chief soon.
