Taliban to lay down arms if operation stops: Maulvi Omar

LONDON: The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Wednesday indicated willingness to lay down arms if the government assured it of ending the ongoing military operation. TTP spokesman Maulvi Omar said that the allegation that the Taliban movement was destabilising Pakistan was baseless, adding that the TTP was firm on its stance that if the government ended the military operation, it would lay down its arms. However, he added, the government had always backed out of its promises. He said that no foreign agencies were pressurising the Taliban and they were independent in making their own decisions. online
