[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text dp_text_size=”size-4″]Following the capture of Kabul by the Afghan Taliban in August 2021, PTI senior leader Dr. Shireen Mazari alleged that former army chief (retired) General Qamar Javed Bajwa sought to “resettle” members of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the nation.
On the Dawn News show “Doosra Rukh,” which will air at 7 p.m. today, Mazari made these comments. The former minister’s statement was made at a time when terrorist attacks have significantly increased around the nation, with the most recent incidence being a Friday night attack on the Karachi police chief’s office.
Four people were died and 16 others were hurt during the hours-long battle between terrorists and law enforcement personnel at the Sharea Faisal office, where all three terrorists were reportedly killed. According to Mazari, during the interview, “Bajwa at one point brought up the topic (of the Taliban), that there are Pakistani nationality families in the TTP who wish to return to the country – General Faiz was also present at the time.
“Things should be done for some form of resettlement and negotiations should be held if they embrace the Constitution and lay down their arms.” The resettlement plan had prompted a “instant reaction among the elected PTI members,” the PTI leader continued, so a meeting was held.
As our elected officials have a lot of reservations, it was clearly established that a committee made up of them and the military would be constituted before beginning a discourse. According to Mazari, the PTI had requested that a consensus be achieved first before speaking with the TTP.
Once the PTI government was overthrown, she remarked that the present administration “did not care about what dialogue was to be had with whom.” The former MNA declared that the imported administration, not us, would be held accountable for failing to address the TTP. Gen. Faiz had visited “at the beginning to talk to the Afghan government,” the PTI chairman said, not the Taliban.
