ISLAMABAD: The government would negotiate the recovery of former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s son Syed Ali Haider Gilani and former Punjab governor Salman Taseer’s son Shahbaz Taseer during direct talks with the Taliban, the sources said on Monday.
Meanwhile, a member of the government-nominated negotiating team Rustam Shah Mohmand said that that the government had completed its homework for pursuing talks with the outlawed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Rustam Shah said that the government team was planning to hold direct talks with the Taliban tomorrow and had the weather not turned for the worse, then the meeting could have taken place today.
Moreover, he said that the government had also prepared its list of demands.
On the other hand, a key member of the TTP negotiating committee Professor Ibrahim Khan told media that the meeting between the Taliban shura and government committee will be held in the Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA) in the next two days.
