Earlier in the day, Afghanistan's 1TV news broadcaster reported that the Taliban pledged to declare a three-month ceasefire if the Afghan government releases 7,000 prisoners and the movement is removed from the United Nations' blacklist.
"We did not say a ceasefire, we said the limitation of military operations," Naeem said.
According to the spokesman, the Taliban movement has "no information" about the ceasefire proposal.
