Mohammad Ibrahim, leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami and a senior member of the Pakistani Taliban dialogue, Sunday said a "hidden hand" is trying to sabotage the upcoming peace talks between the Pakistan government and the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Ibrahim said the venue and date for the peace talk are yet to be decided and consultations could take place in Mahsud tribal area in South Waziristan, the News International reported.

He also added that the Taliban was further investigating about the Ahrar-ul Hind (earlier a part of TTP) which claimed responsibility for the bomb attacks in Peshawar and Quetta March 14.
