First of all it was my suggestion mate,not assumption-that is,to use peace settlements as a tool against them.
Now,coming to the question which you have raised of our interest with militants?
In order to understand the scenario,we must place missing pieces of puzzles of past events to resolve current situation.
And the piece which we are ignoring actually is United State's role in war of terror and sudden change in her attitude,as well as her biased policy in case of Pakistan which has resulted to complete silence in army sectors while our civil regime is divided into two mindsets.
After so called 9/11 catastrophe,we have experienced of US aggressive attitude as a result of which US attacked Afghanistan with an objective of complete annhilation of those talibans which they have raised,nourished and funded along talibans along with Pakistan,Saudi Arab and other hegemoney players against Soviets...
The very same united States after 10 years changed her attitude and seek tried to arrange peace settlements with very same talibans.
At the same time,when Pakistan approaches to militants which consists of not only TTP-the Umberella organization but it's allies too,the very same US targets their leaders at crucial times of peace settlements and APC in past which not only hinders but justifies and support TTP's anti-state actions,thus they succeed to gain support at every level,which is extremely dangerous.
Meanwhile on the other hand,our civil regime is divided into two classes:
-The one who persistently support US because they are unable to halt US from drone strikes,includes PML-N
-while the other one which is effected due to US controversial role and is influenced by present event is continuously favouring peace settlement as they recognize US responsible for this,which included provential government ie KPK.
This thinking is getting strength day by day that US will leave Afghanistan leaving Pakistan behind in mess,which is also a major reason which is bending civil regime towards peace settlements thus hindering TTP's brutal attitude and anti-state action as well.
