ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday named its lawmaker in the National Assembly from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Gulzar Khan as its representative in the government committee for talks with the outlawed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)-nominated negotiating team.

The federal minister for interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan made a telephonic contact with the TTP Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday and discussed matter of peace talks with the TTP in their conversation.

On Thursday, Nisar told the National Assembly that a new government negotiating team was being constituted to hold negotiations with the Taliban committee.
