Miranshah: A Taliban shura has warned the Pakistan government that a military operation in North Waziristan Agency would lead to a war in the region.
In a pamphlet addressed to the people of North Waziristan, the Taliban have appealed to the people of North Waziristan Agency to relocate themselves in a ‘peaceful’ area in Afghanistan before the beginning of any such clash the Daily Times reports.
The Taliban shura said it had been honouring the agreement it signed with the government and had not attacked security forces since then, but Islamabad was violating the agreement to serve its vested interests.
According to the pamphlet issued by the Taliban, the government was taking advantage of the situation, by establishing a spy network in the agency and killing several militants and civilians.
The pamphlet said that according to the accord, the government had agreed to withdraw troops from Janikhel and Bakkakhel areas of the tribal agency, however, the number of troops had increased there since the agreement.
The shura said Army checkposts still existed in these areas and the authorities were even checking women’s identity cards.
