Summary Says he has decided not to receive Taliban’s phone calls but will remain member of peace committee.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Lal Masjid khateeb and member of Taliban peace committee Maulana Abdul Aziz has expressed concerns over points of dialogues, presented by the government.

Addressing a press conference here on Friday, Maulana Abdul Aziz said that the government wants to talks about peace within the limits of the constitution but those who they are negotiating with don’t believe in it. He also expressed reservations over the demands made by the government’s talks committee.

He said the government’s demand to hold negotiation within the parameters of the constitution will delay the process.

Maulana urged the government to remove the condition of holding talks under the constitution.

“There would be no problems if our constitution were the Quran and Sunnah. But the Taliban say they do not recognise the prevailing constitution,” Aziz said. “The people should not be misled into believing that our constitution is Islamic.”
