The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesperson, Muhammad Khorasani, has issued a warning to the current ruling parties in Pakistan, specifically the Pakistan Muslim League (PML).

Advertisment

In a statement, Khorasani reiterates that the TTP's targets are solely the country's security institutions and their affiliates. However, the group takes exception to the PML's leadership using language and tone similar to that of the Pakistan Army, which the TTP views as an adversary.

The TTP warns the PML and other ruling parties to refrain from taking sides in the conflict between the group and the security institutions. Failure to do so, the statement warns, may result in the TTP targeting the PML's leadership and "riotous elements."

The statement is signed by Muhammad Khorasani, spokesperson for the TTP. This development comes amid ongoing tensions between the TTP and the Pakistani government.
