The bloody game of TTP and IS-K: Know why bombing Afghanistan became a compulsion for Pakistan?

Pakistan And Afghanistan Tension News: The tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan has reached such a peak where the nuclear-powered country has had to resort to air strikes against guerilla fighters. On Saturday night, Pakistan carried out a massive airstrike in the border areas of Afghanistan, which it has termed as a compulsion for its national security. Pakistan’s direct allegation is that conspiracies to cause bloodshed on its soil are being hatched in Afghanistan.

2 organizations at the center of controversy

At the center of this entire controversy are two major organizations – Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Islamic State-Khorasan (IS-K). TTP, also known as Pakistani Taliban, formed under the leadership of Baitullah Mehsud in 2007, has emerged as the biggest enemy of the Pakistan government. The main objective of this organization, formed by combining many small jihadi groups, is to end government control from tribal areas like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and implement its strict Sharia law there. Pakistan claims that TTP has ideological and strategic support from Al-Qaeda and Afghan Taliban.

TTP was given a controversial name like Fitna Al Khawarij

Surprisingly, Pakistan has now given a new and controversial name to TTP like Fitna Al Khawarij. The historical reference to the word Khawarij is those who rebelled in the name of religion. Pakistan’s aim is to hurt the religious credibility of these terrorists, so that the public can be made to understand that they have nothing to do with Islam. On the other hand, IS-K i.e. Islamic State-Khorasan, which came into existence in 2015, is a branch of the global terrorist organization ISIS. Its dream is to create a huge Khorasan province by combining Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia. This organization is not only the enemy of Pakistan and Shia communities, but also considers the Afghan Taliban as its rival.

These organizations were involved in the attacks

Pakistan claims that these organizations are behind the serial suicide attacks in recent years, in which thousands of innocent people lost their lives. Strictness on these groups has increased since the coming of Shahbaz Sharif government. The Pakistan Army believes that unless Afghanistan adheres to the Doha Agreement to stop the use of its land, such military actions across the border will remain its compulsion. Now the question is whether these air strikes will ensure the security of Pakistan or open a new and destructive front with the Taliban.
