ISLAMABAD
Foreign Office (FO) Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar Ahmad has asserted that the negotiations with banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) were being held under the Constitution of Pakistan. Addressing a weekly press conference in Islamabad, the FO spokesperson said the parliamentarians have been apprised on the issue of negotiations with TTP. “All activities in this regard are being carried out under the Constitution,” he added.
Asim Iftikhar said that Pakistan has registered a strong protest with New Delhi over its recent blocking of Twitter accounts of Pakistan’s diplomatic missions and the national broadcaster Radio Pakistan, in India. “New Delhi’s move reflects the alarming pace of shrinking space for pluralistic voices and curbing of fundamental freedoms in India,” he said.
