Over the past few days, Malik has repeatedly ridiculed the Taliban’s offer of peace talks, saying a dialogue can be held only if the banned group lays down arms and declares a month-long ceasefire
The Taliban in Pakistan Taliban has labelled the county's Interior Minister Rehman Malik as 'comedian', with a spokesman for the terrorist organisation saying some 'serious person' should replace him for any dialogue between the two sides.
Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan compared Malik to Pashto comedian Ismail Shahid and said the group did not take the minister’s statements seriously.
“Our central shura (consultative council) believes that if Rehman Malik keeps on churning out statements about our offer (of talks), it’ll indicate the government is not serious in pursuing peace talks,” Ihsan told The Express Tribune.
Over the past few days, Malik has repeatedly ridiculed the Taliban’s offer of peace talks, saying a dialogue can be held only if the banned group lays down arms and declares a month-long ceasefire.
