ISLAMABAD
\nPakistan on Thursday rejected reports and speculations of talks with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
\nResponding to the queries of media persons at her weekly briefing in Islamabad today, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said there is absolutely no dialogue taking place with TTP.
\nA Pakistani journalist had claimed this week that talks are underway with TTP with the mediation of the Taliban govt in a third country. The spokesperson said Afghanistan should take strong action against perpetrators of this heinous attack and hand them over to Pakistan along with the TTP leadership in Afghanistan.
\n\u201cWe have noted the statement of the interim Afghan government that it will investigate Tuesday\u2019s terror attack that took place in Dera Ismail Khan,\u201d she said after the Taliban govt spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid promised to hold investigation of the DIK attack on security forces.
\nThe spokesperson urged the Afghan authorities to take concrete and verifiable steps to prevent the use of their soil by terror entities against Pakistan.
\nShe said \u201cour law enforcement agencies have determined that the recent terror incidents in Pakistan have their links with individuals belonging to the TTP or its affiliates who have sanctuaries and hideouts inside Afghanistan.\u201d
\nAs regards the Indian Supreme Court\u2019s endorsement of India\u2019s illegal and unilateral action of 2019, the spokesperson said the Indian Supreme Court has absolutely no jurisdiction over Jammu and Kashmir which is an internationally recognized disputed territory.
\nThe final disposition of Jammu and Kashmir will be guided by the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and aspirations of the Kashmiri people. She said Pakistan will continue to extend political, moral and diplomatic to the Kashmiri brothers and sisters for the just and peaceful settlement of Jammu and Kashmir dispute.
\nThe spokesperson welcomed the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. She said this is a reflection of an international consensus and growing public anger at the ongoing Israeli atrocities that have claimed the lives more than eighteen thousand Palestinian people.
\nIt is critical the international community brings an end to Israel\u2019s war crimes and crimes against humanity being perpetuated against the Palestinian people. The spokesperson also condemned increasing Israeli atrocities in the West Bank and attacks against Lebanon and Syria saying these are in breach of territorial sovereignty of these countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
