ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam  chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, welcoming the peace-talks offer by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan , said the government and military leadership should authorise tribal jirgas to negotiate.

The TTP signalled its willingness to enter peace negotiations on February 4 with the government if three senior politicians  Pakistan Muslim League Chief Nawaz Sharif,  and Jamaat-e-Islami amir Syed Munawar Hasan  would act as guarantors.

Fazl, while addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Monday, said the signals given by the group were “apparently positive”.

The JUI-F chief said a grand jirga of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) tribes can prove to be of great help in this process
