Summary Demand release of leaders, guarantee by Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Munawar Hasan and Nawaz Sharif.
PESHAWAR: The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan Sunday outlined two conditions to hold talks with the government, a report says.
TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan in a video message blamed the government for being non-serious over their earlier ceasefire offer.
He expressed non trust in the military leadership because according to him it violated agreements reached upon between the army and the militants in the past.
He said the Taliban would hold talks with the government if Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Munawar Hasan, and Nawaz Sharif come forward guarantors.
The second condition put forward by the spokesman is the release of Taliban leaders Muslim Khan, Haji Umar and Maulana Mehmood.
About the offer by the nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, who Saturday said he was ready to become a mediator between the Taliban and the government, Ehsan said the offer was being considered.
He further said that the militia would speed up its attacks against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement.
