ISLAMABAD— Pakistan Peoples Party on Saturday expressed deep concerns over the ongoing talks with TTP- Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan- without informing and taking the parliaments into confidence.
As details, a high-level meeting of PPP with former president Asif Ali Zardari and party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in the chair was held in Zardari House Islamabad to discuss in depth the issue of terrorism, particularly in the light of recent developments in Afghanistan with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Afghanistan (TTA) & TTP.
A statement issued by Secretary-General Farhatullah Babar said that the meeting reiterated the Party’s position that all decisions must be taken by the parliament and thus the parliament must be taken on board.
The party also decided to reach out to allied parties to create a consensus on the way forward.
