Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Mohmand Agency on Friday alleged that the government was continuing its operation against them under the garb of dialogue.
In a press statement issued on Friday with the signature of Omar Khorasani, the TTP claimed two of its activists were killed by security forces, after being kidnapped on January 20 and January 22 from Peshawar.
“This incident took place at a time when the peace talks between the government and the TTP have started,” the statement ran.
It appeared the government wanted to ‘cheat’ them once again as it had arrested their ex-spokesman Haji Muslim Khan and killed their chief Hakimullah Mehsod in the past, the statement said.
The statement added that under the circumstances, they were forced to review if it was possible for them to participate in such talks.

Sincerity is the basic condition for successful negotiations.Both sides should be careful about it .As the peace talks have started ,it is in the interest of both parties to make it successful to avoid bloodshed , death and destruction.
Talk, talk, talk and war war war are the slogans of the Government and the Army. Army's operation and drone attacks have not stopped. The ground realities are that everyone in the Government and the Army hierarchy has an interest in status quo i.e. they don't want to bring peace and tranquility in the area.
Sharia is the only solution of Pakistan most corrupt and failed system of the world. After 65 years of trail and error it has been proved that Pakistan other systems; worst dictatorship, elite democracy, corrupt bureaucracy and vilest allied US capitalism is totally failed has destroyed the country, its integrity, faith and sovereignty. The constitution was brutally violated, kicked and killed by the army and its agencies.

State has nothing to do with those abductions,these are acts of non-state actors for disrupting peace talks.Tit for Tat
