Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari says it has been interconnected to Afghanistan that the banned outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is Pakistan’s red line.
“The Afghan Taliban have been told that our [Pakistan and Afghanistan] ties will not persist fine if the TTP is not stopped,” Bilawal said
An increase in the number of terror incidents has put the security gadget in the country on high alert with the most recent Bannu hostage crisis sending shockwaves across the country. Over 120 policemen were martyred and over 125 others were wounded in different kinds of attacks on the police force in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the current year.
Further, in a media talk at the Pakistani embassy in Washington, Bilawal Bhutto said Pakistan is willing to deliver assistance to Afghanistan for operations against militants but it cannot be ignored if it was proved that the Afghan Taliban are not stopping the TTP. The Taliban leaders also pledged before the US and the entire world to take action against militant groups on Afghan soil, he added.
