The Pakistani Taliban has not extended a month-long ceasefire due to prevailing difference of opinion among their ranks.
The terror group is however still open to pursuing peace talks with the government, a spokesman for the insurgent movement said.
Central spokesman for Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Shahidullah Shahid said some Taliban leaders had objected to extending the ceasefire, which lasted during the month of March, Dawn News reports.
He said that no decision has been made regarding extending the ceasefire, adding that a meeting of the central Shura (council) would soon be held on the matter.
According to the report, Shahidullah also accused the government of arresting more than 120 militants and not accepting their demands during the month-long ceasefire.
