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.
