The Pakistani Taliban has said it would not extend a ceasefire called to help negotiations with the government in March, but said they were still committed to the peace talks process.

A Pakistani Taliban (TTP) spokesman said the group was taking the move as the government was ignoring their demands.

According to the BBC, the TTP pledged a month-long ceasefire on 1 March, which was later extended to 10 April.

However, on Wednesday the TTP said its central council had 'unanimously agreed not to extend the ceasefire' because the government had been 'completely silent' following the Taliban's initial demands.

The statement added that the talk process would continue with complete sincerity and seriousness.
