TTP spokesperson turned down the offer saying they don't need an office.
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervaiz Khattak offered Taliban space to open office in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa which was turned down by Taliban saying they don’t need an office, whereas Yousaf Shah says Taliban are ready for proper negotiations, Dunya News reported.
According to reports, Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervaiz Khattak repeated Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan’s offer for Taliban to open office. Addressing media in Peshawar, Khattak said provincial government can allocate space to Taliban to open office if federation wants adding that the offer isn’t limited to office space only.
However the efforts proved to be one-sided as Taliban politely turned down the offer saying they never demanded office space anywhere in the country and that they don’t need it.
Outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesperson Shahidullah Shahid said that Taliban do not need an office.
Addressing media in Peshawar, Yousaf Shah said that Taliban leadership are ready for direct and formal negotiations and is willing to solve the problem through dialogue.
On the other hand, a statement issued by TTP Mohmand Agency Chief Umar Khrasani said that they continue to obey ceasefire and that they won’t target anyone during this phase. He said that his group’s should not be named in possible terrorist attack on former president Pervez Musharraf adding that it harms the peace process.
