February 16, 2013 15:19

The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan have rejected a declaration adopted by leading political parties that called for negotiations to end terrorism, saying it was drawn up with an eye on the upcoming general election.

The banned Taliban further said that a conference of all political parties, which was held in Islamabad on Thursday to discuss the issue of terrorism, had failed to come up with a road-map for peace talks with militants.

Taliban spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan told the media, "We are still waiting for serious and meaningful talks with the government and the army."
