Islamabad sets criteria to judge Kabul

Pakistan has set certain benchmarks to determine whether the Afghan Taliban government would be taking practical and effective measures to neutralise the threat of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). At a weekly news briefing on Thursday, Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said Pakistan had shared evidence with the Afghan interim government about the presence of TTP sanctuaries.

“We have urged the interim Afghan government to take concrete action against these TTP elements, dismantle their networks and prevent terrorist attacks from across the border into Pakistan,” she said. “We also want them to hold the perpetrators and abettors of terrorist incidents inside Pakistan to account. We remain engaged with Afghan authorities with focus on these goals,” she added.
