Islamabad, May 15: Taliban militants will not be given any extra concessions as
a result of the proposed peace deal, North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) chief
minister Amir Haider Khan Hoti said.
"A peace agreement with the pro-Taliban militants would be inked strictly
within the ambit of law of the land and no extra ordinary concession would be
granted to them," Mr Hoti said.
Talking to mediapersons here on Thursday, he said talks with pro-Taliban
militants are moving in the right direction however no compromise would be made
on writ of the government. "Before finalising any deal, militants would have to
give assurance that they will not indulge in negative activities and not involve
themselves in damaging public property or promoting or supporting violence in
their respective areas," he said.
