Pakistan appeared to have set new rules for engagements with Afghanistan's current rulers, the Taliban, urging the international community not to recognise the hardline movement in Kabul until it dismantles terror infrastructure in the Central Asian nation, including action against the TTP."Any process of engagement with the Afghan interim government must be constituted on the basis its response to the core concerns of the international community; respect for human rights, particularly the rights of women and girls; political inclusivity; and action to neutralise the terrorist organisations in Afghanistan not only Daesh, but also the TTP and other entities which threaten the security of Afghanistan's neighbours," Ambassador Akram added.The remarks of the Pakistani diplomat come amid simmering tensions between Kabul and Islamabad, with the latter accusing the former of being hand-in-glove with the TTP, the banned terrorist group that has allegedly carried out a series of violent attacks inside Pakistan, including the suicide bombing of a mosque in Peshawar, which killed more than 100 in January.Emphasising this, Ambassador Akram pointed out that TTP and its affiliates posed a great risk to the lives of Pakistan's security personnel and civilians.Though Pakistan has been quite categorical about its concerns related to the TTP, repeatedly asking the Taliban to destroy its sanctuaries in the war-torn sovereign state, Kabul has denied the existence of the same in Afghanistan. The Taliban even called the TTP issue Pakistan's internal matter, further irking Islamabad.*The Taliban is under UN sanctions for extremism.**A terrorist organization banned in Russia and India.

Pakistan Adds TTP Twist in Taliban's Bid to Gain International Recognition
Ties between Pakistan and the Taliban are under strain over the latter's inaction against the proscribed Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which Islamabad blames for multiple terrorist attacks in the neighbouring country.
Pakistan appeared to have set new rules for engagements with
Afghanistan's current rulers, the
Taliban, urging the international community not to recognise the hardline movement in Kabul until it dismantles terror infrastructure in the
Central Asian nation, including
action against the TTP.
"Any process of engagement with the Afghan interim government should be conducted on the basis of the action that it takes against these terrorist organisations. Else, we will see the recurrence and proliferation of terrorism from Afghanistan as happened prior to 9/11, threatening not only the region but the entire world," Pakistan's Permanent UN Representative, Ambassador Munir Akram stated.
"Any process of engagement with the Afghan interim government must be constituted on the basis its response to the core concerns of the international community; respect for human rights, particularly the rights of women and girls; political inclusivity; and action to neutralise the terrorist organisations in Afghanistan not only Daesh, but also the TTP and other entities which threaten the security of Afghanistan's neighbours," Ambassador Akram added.
The remarks of the Pakistani diplomat come amid simmering tensions between Kabul and Islamabad, with the latter accusing the former of being hand-in-glove with the TTP, the banned terrorist group that has allegedly carried out a series of violent attacks inside Pakistan, including the suicide bombing of a mosque in
Peshawar, which
killed more than 100 in January.
Emphasising this, Ambassador Akram pointed out that TTP and its affiliates posed a great risk to the lives of Pakistan's security personnel and civilians.
"We have lost hundreds of our brave soldiers and civilians in these attacks just this year alone and last week, a TTP-affiliated group carried out a heinous attack on our security personnel in Dera Ismail Khan, resulting in the loss of more than 23 precious lives," he informed the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
Though Pakistan has been quite categorical about its concerns related to the TTP, repeatedly asking the Taliban to destroy its sanctuaries in the war-torn sovereign state, Kabul has denied the existence of the same in Afghanistan.
The Taliban even called the TTP issue Pakistan's internal matter, further irking Islamabad.
