Pakistan's Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has rejected as false reports that the government has initiated a dialogue with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Nisar said the government has finalised a policy and strategy against terrorism and would implement it after consulting key political parties of the country, the Daily Times reports.

Nisar said that it would be "premature" to say that the government has initiated the dialogue process with the Talban, citing the sensitivity and complexity of the issue.
