The militaryâs campaign to register foreign militants hiding in South Waziristan took a severe blow on Sunday when Nek Muhammad, a former Taliban commander who signed a peace deal with the government, said that the registration of militants was not part of the deal. In an interview with Daily Times by phone from an undisclosed location in Waziristan, Nek said that Peshawar Corps Commander Lt Gen Safdar Hussain violated the agreement by demanding foreignersâ registration. âThere was no such condition in the deal,â he said. âThis is his (Gen Hussainâs) idea. I told him we could discuss this but he did not agree and went ahead with his plan,â said Nek, who fought pitched battles with the Army in March. Nek said that Gen Hussain had called the registration plan just an idea. âI told him that today you have one idea and the next morning you will have another and therefore made it clear to him that I will not accept a new idea every next day,â Nek said in an aggressive tone. He said that he had suggested the government make a new deal with him if it was not happy with the current one. |
