The Government does not say that we have a stake in TTP, the press says with the intension of selling its papers with no substantial evidance in their hand, the other word propaganda is some thing that i do not comment because it simple "its propaganda" am i not right?

TTP is terrorist & enemy # 1 of Pakistan & it must be crushed. No need to become fool & got trap in their tactics.
I put a different iterpretation to that. Its like indian govt has a stake in dalai lamas future not necs that they support him in all his activities

Sane post, This is how we improve cohession and remove non state actors out of their league.
A good terrorist is a man behind the bars or if he is so reluctant to give up his arms then he is good if and only if he is in coma for the rest of his life

we just gave santury to a old man who is feared to return to the place he belonged too. we never send a man to his death when he knocks our door.
This is not Indias fault and we Indians are brought up with the mentality to give place for a man to grow old and die in peace.
what's the paranoia with indians. why are they obsessed with Pakistan?
ashokdeiva are you forgetting something??? "um" mukti bahini any 1???
There are 10,000 Indian contractors in Afghanistan just sitting there doing nothing????
er Yeah Right!!!
The pak army has inflicted numerous defeats on those TTP cowards , we have driven them out of their safe havens and they ran to Afghanistan to lay down in karzai's bed.
Whatever may be pak does have some legitimate concerns about Indian involvement in Afghanistan.
Peace

TTP r a bunch of retards proven again..
Not just Haqqani networks but talk with all factions of the Talibans.
Making it explicit: We will talk to the Haqqani network, says PM
LAHORE: It had only been hinted at in the resolution adopted by the all parties conference (APC) on Thursday, but Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Sunday confirmed that his administration is ready to start talks with all factions of the Taliban, including the Haqqani network.
“If negotiations fail to work, the government will launch military operations in the tribal areas,” he told a small group of journalists at his private residence in Lahore.
The prime minister did not specifically refer to North Waziristan – the tribal region where the Haqqanis are believed to be based – when talking about military campaigns.
He said that the approach currently being tried was similar to that which was tried in Swat, where the government offered a peace deal to the militants in 2009, but launched a military operation after the Taliban refused to honour their end of the bargain.
For the first time, the prime minister provided details about how the talks would be conducted. “We will not ask them to disarm before the negotiations since this is against the tribal culture. However, the political agents [government administrators in the tribal regions] will ask them to decommission themselves,” he said.
Prime Minister Gilani confirmed that the talks would be monitored by a parliamentary committee, to ensure transparency and civilian oversight of the process.
The nation’s chief executive took pride in the unanimity that the government was able to put on display at the APC, where nearly 60 political parties, as well as the civilian and military leadership of the country agreed to a resolution, albeit one that was phrased vaguely and did not mention the United States by name.

Nevertheless, the prime minister said the show of unity had dissuaded the United States from its strident criticism of Pakistan and even claimed that the US had agreed to forswear future unilateral action in Pakistan.
“There will be no [foreign] boots on Pakistani soil,” said Gilani. “Pakistan has gotten assurances from the United States that there will not be any unilateral action like the May 2 Abbottabad incident.”
Several prominent politicians in the United States, including Senator Lindsey Graham, had called for unilateral action against the Haqqani network in North Waziristan after then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen testified before the US Congress that the network was likely involved in the attack on the US Embassy in Kabul.
Mullen had called the Haqqani network, a “veritable arm of the ISI,” a charge that the prime minister urged the media to essentially ignore.
Since those allegations, both sides have been trying to calm tensions, and the prime minister was keen to highlight Pakistan’s desire to play a peacemaking role in Afghanistan.

“Our common enemy, which does not see us united, might be involved in [former Afghan president Burhanuddin] Rabbani’s assassination and I categorically informed [Afghan President Hamid] Karzai that we should not play into the hands of such elements,” said Gilani, referring to what is believed to be a Taliban-backed assassination of the former Afghan president who had been charged with a peacemaking role in Afghanistan.
