It is widely believed that the PMLN has the inside track with the TTP and other militant organizations, even though their entente cordiale is increasingly frayed as, being in the federal government, it can no longer connive at the militants’ activities in bargain for peace in Punjab. The PPP was also pliant enough to keep the party’s entire cadre all over the national territory out of harm’s way during its five years. The ANP and the MQM, being the only two truly secular parties in Pakistan, are blatantly targeted by Islamist militants and continue to pay a huge price. However, during the last many years no prominent political leader in Pakistan has been as desperate to woo Taliban as Imran Khan.
