The banned Outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has declared a one-month ceasefire, starting from November 9, Pakistani TV Channel reported.
The spokesperson for the banned group said the ceasefire could be extended with the consent of the parties involved — the TTP and the government — while both parties should abide by the rules of the ceasefire.
The banned TTP said that the group has agreed to set up negotiating committees, which will try to move forward with the next course of action as well as the negotiation process on the demands of the parties.
According to the banned TTP, the Afghanistan Taliban are playing the role of a mediator in the negotiation process.
The announcement comes hours after Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting of Pakistan Fawad Chaudhry had said the government and the banned TTP agreed to a complete ceasefire under the peace talks.
