    Gen Faiz Hameed gifted luxury car to TTP chief, reveals Azaz Syed

    Former spymaster General Faiz Hameed gifted a brand new bulletproof car to the Chief of terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Noor Wali Mehsud, a step taken allegedly to win his confidence amid negotiation.

    Veteran journalist Azaz Syed took to his YouTube show Talk SHOCK to reveal that TTP head Mehsud presented three demands to ex-spymaster Gen Faiz during the tenure of the government led by founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan. One of the demands was to settle forty thousand families, including militants, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

    The second demand was to abolish the merger status of the Federal Administrative Tribal Area (FATA) with KP, while the third demand was to provide TTP with six billion rupees of financial support.

    However, the state resisted the financial demand, expressing concern about the possible use of financial aid against Pakistan in terror activities.

    Azaz further revealed that Gen Faiz urged Mehsud to have friendly relationships with the state of Pakistan, to which Mehsud sarcastically responded, saying that they are not as isolated as Pakistan in terms of cordial relations with border countries.

    Pakistan rejects talks with TTP, says Foreign Office

    Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch has said that Pakistan has rejected any suggestion to negotiate with the terrorist organisation Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

    In the FO’s weekly media briefing, Baloch said, “As i said in the past, Pakistan has no plans to engage in any talks with TTP. We believe that such offers are an affront to thousands of victims of TTP, who have been killed in Pakistan.”

    She added, “Pakistan advises Afghan authorities to take action against TTP and other terror groups that continue to threaten Pakistan’s security and who have been involved in the killing of Pakistani nationals in Pakistani territory.”

    She pointed out that Islamabad has strong evidence of Afghanistan soil being used for terrorist activities in Pakistan and expected that the Afghan government will take action against terror groups.

    Regarding India’s participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Pakistan, Baloch remarked, “I can confirm that invitations have been extended to all Heads of Government of SCO member countries, including the prime minister of India.”
