Prime Minister Imran Khan in an interview with TRT World’s Ali Mustafa stated that some Tehreek E Taliban Pakistan (TTP) groups are willing to negotiate with the government.
Saying that I don’t believe in a military solution, Imran Khan added we will give them a chance for peace and reconciliation if they surrender.
Soon after the clip of interview went viral, a group of TTP from North Waziristan announced a ceasefire. The leader of the TTP group, Hafiz Gul Bahadur, ordered his fighters to observe a ceasefire from 1st October to 20th October as peace talks with the government are in progress.
