The spokesperson for Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Mohammad Khorasani, stated that the group does not rely on assistance from neighboring countries, but rather has deep roots among the people of Pakistan.
According to him, the TTP pursues its objectives with the support of the Pakistani public.
Khorasani also rejected the statements made by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who claimed that the Afghan Taliban support the TTP and send aid to them.
He said that the Pakistani government uses such claims to cover up its own failures.
Khorasani made these remarks following Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s statement that the Afghan Taliban support the TTP and send armed militants into Pakistan.
