PTI agrees to join govt committee in TTP talks
[DAWN] The Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI) on Monday agreed to partake in the dialogue being held between the government and the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) and has named Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central...
MNA Gulzar Khan as its representative in the government committee, DawnNews reported.

The government had virtually dissolved a committee formed last month when its members recommended the formation of a fully empowered team comprising the interior minister, officials of the army and ISI and the governor and chief minister of KP for direct talks with TTP.

PTI chief Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems...
has been a staunch supporter of dialogue and has consistently said that a military operation against Taliban is not a solution to the problem.

The PML-N had reportedly been approaching PTI to agree to the inclusion of KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak in the government committee for holding direct talks with the Taliban leadership.

Well-informed sources had told Dawn on Sunday that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had been in constant touch with Khan and had met him several times in recent days at the Parliament House and at his Islamabad residence.

A source in the PTI had also confirmed the meetings and said the interior minister had requested Khan to let Khattak join the government committee.
