PESHAWAR: The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Monday announced to suspend peace negotiations with the Pakistani government, blaming that they were “not serious” with the peace initiative, Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported.
The militant organization has suspended talks with the authorities because the army and the government were not serious in conducting peace dialogue and talks, TTP spokesperson Ehsanullah Ehsan said.
The terror banned outfit in February expressed its willingness for conditional peace talks with the government if Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif, chief of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman and Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Ameer Syed Munawar Hasan acted as guarantors for the dialogue.
The TTP spokesman in an interview warned citizens to avoid participation in the “un-Islamic democratic system which only serves the interests of infidels and enemies of Islam.”
Ehsanullah said that the TTP specifically advised the public to stay away from gatherings of the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP), Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and the Awami National Party (ANP).
