No One is serious in holding talks. Maulana Samiul Haq

 Jamiat Ulema-I-Islam (S) chief Maulana Samiul Haq has said that neither the Taliban nor the Awami National Party (ANP) are serious in holding talks.

Speaking to media after attending multi-party conference organized by the ANP on Thursday, he said conferences and Fatwas would not help resolving the issue of terrorism.

He said his party supported the Taliban for their struggle against occupation forces, adding that negotiations should be held between the militia and the government without any pre-condition.

The cleric said US President Barrack Obama had announced to end war in Afghanistan and Pakistan should also do so, a reference to Obama’s announcement to reduce US troops in Afghanistan.
