Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslmeen (MWM) Pakistan has rejected Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s speech today at National Assembly session at Islamabad on Wednesday. MWM Deputy Secretary General, Allama Amin Shaheedi rejected resuming talks with Tehreek-e-Taliban Paksitan (TTP) terrorists demanding ruthless operation against killer of 55,000 Pakistanis. Earlier today, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced that he has made a four-member committee for negotiations with the terrorists of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The announcement came the same day Taliban militants targeted paramilitary soldiers, killing at least three Rangers personnel in separate bomb attacks in Karachi. Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Shahidullah Shahid claimed responsibility for the attacks. On January 27, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) parliamentarians had voted in majority for an operation against the Taliban as opposed to peace talks. The parliamentarians had met in Islamabad to discuss the law-and-order situation in the country. MWM is a Shiite Muslim religio-political organization in Pakistan. The party is an anti-status quo movement advocating for an egalitarian and modern model of Islamic democratic welfare state, particularly emphasizing on Shiite-Sunni unity in the country. MWM’s agenda articulates and spells out the vision of a modern Islamic Republic that advocates individual’s welfare through community’s cooperation. It wants to set Pakistan on a course to political stability, social harmony, and economic prosperity for all religious, ethnic and racial communities.
