Differences between sub-groups of the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan intensified as they express distrust of the central leadership.

Sources say that the unfair distribution of resources led to a rift among the sub-groups.

Meanwhile, their terrorists believe the increasing economic difficulties are due to the lavish lifestyle of their commanders such as the abundance of vehicles and money.

The leadership is enjoying an unusual lifestyle in luxury homes in major Afghanistan cities with a secure future for their children, however, their subordinates are forced on living either in camps or in villages close to the border, which don’t have the basic facilities of life, sources said.

They have threatened their commanders that they will surrender to the security forces if the issues are not resolved.

Moreover, the groups believe that the leadership of the outlawed organisation motivates the poor people to fight against Pakistani security forces for their own benefit. They are being sacrificed in the name of so-called jihad.

Earlier in January, after the suicide blast in Peshawar’s Police Line Mosque, there were differences between the TTP groups over the issue of taking responsibility.

Initially, the responsibility of the attack was taken by the two TTP commanders, but the spokesperson issued a clarification on that.

Moreover, after the Afghan Taliban condemned the attack, the Central Command also issued a condemnation.
