Pakistan blames Taliban government
The military also said that Pakistan continuously calls on the Afghan Taliban government to ensure effective border management. Islamabad often accuses Kabul of turning a blind eye to terrorists operating near the border. However, Afghanistan’s Taliban government has denied such allegations.
In recent times, there has been an increase in violence in Pakistan, much of which is attributed to the Pakistani Taliban. What is known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP. It is a separate group but is affiliated with the Afghan Taliban, which seized power in Afghanistan in 2021. Many TTP leaders and fighters have since found refuge in Afghanistan.
