Political parties, army have always deceived Taliban: TTP
[Pak Daily Times] Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) Mohmand Agency
... Named for the Mohmand clan of the Sarban Pahstuns, a truculent, quarrelsome lot. In Pakistain, the Mohmands infest their eponymous Agency, metastasizing as far as the plains of Peshawar, Charsadda, and Mardan. Mohmands are also scattered throughout Pakistan in urban areas including Karachi, Lahore, and Quetta. In Afghanistan they are mainly found in Nangarhar and Kunar...
leader Umer Khalid Kharasani has said that political parties and Pakistain Army have "always deceived the Taliban" and latest fiddle was in form of a drone attack which killed their chief Hakimullah Mehsud.

Talking to a group of news hounds at some holy man's guesthouse an undisclosed location on Monday, Kharasani held political parties and Pakistain Army responsible for the death of Hakimullah Mehsud and vowed to take Dire Revenge™ for the killing.

He said the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain spokesperson's statement regarding peace talks issue was his informal assertion, adding that the formal standpoint of TTP would be issued after meeting of its Majlis-e-Shura to be presided over by new TTP chief Maulvi Fazalullah.

To a question regarding contour of the TTP Shura, he said it consisted of 15 to 17 members from every tribal agency.

He also ruled out reports regarding rifts in the ranks of Taliban and said that they are united under the leadership of Maulvi Fazalullah.

He said the US and India are enemies of Taliban but the "Pak government has always followed the dictation of America and inflicted damages on TTP".

He alleged that Pak Army and government were not in favour of peace dialogue and ending military operation as they are afraid of termination of foreign aid as a reaction to their action.

Some of the political parties, including 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), Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975.

(JI) and Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam
...the political wing of the Pak Taliban...
-Fazl (JUI-F), are in favour of restoration of peace through talks but government was using various tactics aimed at not letting their efforts to be fruitful, Kharasani added.

The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain leader also rejected the notion that dialogues were impossible with the Taliban under the leadership of Fazalullah and said that all decisions of the outfit were taken in consensus with the Majlis-e-Shura and not by chief solely.

He said that gorilla action of Taliban was underway in Mohmand Agency, Swat, Bajaur and other tribal agencies.

To a question regarding creating hurdles in the way of development and destroying educational institutions, he said that Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain was neither against development nor resisting promotion of education but was only against the NGOs working executing these projects on foreign aids.

According to Kharasani, the current education system is "anti-Islamic" and if reforms are introduced, the Taliban would not oppose them.

Regarding attacks on workers of polio
...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set...
vaccination teams, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain leader said that they are following the foreign agenda and if all the holy mans jointly declare polio vaccination permissible then Taliban would stop the attacks.

He also rejected the reports published in the foreign media about losses caused by drone attacks and said that mostly innocent people become victim of such strikes.
