Regarding terrorists from the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) seeking sanctuary in hideouts and sanctuaries in Afghanistan, Pakistan’s position has been supported by a report from the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
The paper discusses how the TTP, which the Pakistani government has designated as “Fitna al-Khawarij,” could “transform into an extra regional threat as well as and “umbrella organisation” of other terror groups,” according to Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch.
Baloch said that the UN report made clear that TTP members and new recruits are receiving training in Afghanistan.
FO then pleaded with Afghanistan to act decisively, forcefully, and promptly against terrorist organisations, including “Fitna al-Khawarij.” Baloch went on to say that the Afghan side needed to make sure that their territory was not being used for terrorist operations inside Pakistan.
