Pakistan: PPP opposes ‘TTP appeasement policy’

The PPP has termed the PML-N government's policy of appeasement towards the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan a failure, demanding it should stop pursuing it forthwith. "The cowardly act of terrorists in Islamabad district courts will not weaken the resolve of the Pakistani nation," PPP central president Manzoor Ahmed Wattoo said in a statement here on Monday, adding it would rather strengthen the will to defeat those trying to impose their 'dark ages' agenda on the country. "The TTP's unilateral cease fire offer for a month is not analogous to their bonhomie. Instead, it is the result of pre-emptive and targeted strikes by the army against terrorists' hideouts that forced them (TTP) to engage (in a dialogue) with the state," he said.
