While expressing concerns over Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s statement, the banned outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Saturday said Nawaz has changed his statement and could not be trusted.
A TTP spokesman said Nawaz changed his stance as soon as he arrived in the United States.
He said the statement by Nawaz had established that he was misleading both the Taliban and the people of Pakistan.
In an interview in New York with the Wall Street Journal, Nawaz Sharif also spelled out the conditions that the TTP would have to accept if his government proceeded with a peace deal with the militant group, demanding that they lay down arms and recognize Pakistan’s constitution.
