Pakistan’s JUI-S leader say they feel proud to support Afghan Taliban
2016-04-09
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A Pak political leader has said they feel proud to support the Afghan Taliban group, emphasizing that the Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam
...the political wing of the Pak Taliban...
-Sami (JUI-S) still support the group.

Maulana Yousaf Shah, the party’s chief for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central...
, said leaders had always raised their voice against the western powers, according to the media reports.

This comes as the Afghan officials have long been criticizing Pakistain for harboring and supporting the Taliban group who are staging deadly attacks in Afghanistan.

The remarks by Shah come as Pakistain’s foreign affairs adviser Sartaj PrunefaceAziz
...Adviser to Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs, who believes in good jihadis and bad jihadis as a matter of national policy...
earlier said Pakistain has influence on Taliban group.

The rare admission by Aziz followed amid ongoing efforts to revive the Afghan peace talks.

According to Aziz, the Taliban group are using certain facilities in Pakistain which according to him could be used as a leverage to encourage the group to participate in talks.

However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome...
the Taliban group has rejected to join peace talks as the Afghan security officials believe the group will pursue violence during the summer with the full support of Pak intelligence ‐ Inter Services Intelligence.
