Karachi:Kabul's Taliban regime has reacted angrily to a statement by Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah in which he said Pakistan may take cross-border military action against the outlawed Pakistani Taliban, who are using their safe havens in Afghanistan as a launching pad for their new terrorist group. campaign.

Sanaullah, who estimates the TTP has between 7,000 and 10,000 infantry, warned in a TV interview last week that Pakistani forces could target TTP sanctuaries in border areas of Afghanistan, if Kabul did not listen. claims for action against them.

Speaking on Express News, Sanaullah said: "Afghanistan is our brother country, and we will talk to them first to dismantle the hideouts of the Pakistani Taliban... But if they don't, international laws will tell you give you the right to target those who attack you." .

He asked Pakistan to resolve any concerns and issues amicably through understanding. But in the end, she threatened that if military action took place, Taliban forces would defend her country.

we have a better experience than anyone else in defending and protecting our campaign."

He also warned Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid that he would not allow anyone to carry out "an attack inside Afghanistan.

"There is no international law that would punish such an attack,". He added, "If anyone has a problem, raise it with us and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan can take action," while reaffirming that Afghanistan wants good relations with Pakistan.

The row came amid a sharp upsurge in attacks by the Pakistani Taliban, who publicly called off a ceasefire in November last year after the Kabul-brokered peace process reached an insurmountable stalemate on the main demands of the group. Since then, the organization has carried out dozens of operations in different parts of the country.

The escalation of TTP attacks has raised security concerns in a country already reeling from political instability and economic volatility.

Last week, senior military officials reiterated their determination to preserve hard-won gains in the fight against terrorism. "It is designed to fight terrorists indiscriminately and eliminate this threat in accordance with the aspirations of the Pakistani people," the ISPR said in a statement after the corps commanders' conference.

The GHQ meeting was followed by a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC), the country's top forum on security and foreign policy, where participants agreed to respond with "full force". to those who challenged the country. According to the minister who attended the meeting, there was a consensus at the National Security Council meeting that the government had no choice but to move towards a "demining operation".

Pakistan repeatedly asked the new Afghan rulers to take action against the TTP safe havens on Afghan soil, but the Taliban government refused to do so. During his recent visit to America, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the TTP is our "red line".

"In terms of TTP, that's definitely our red line.This is something we will not tolerate," Bilawal said while addressing the Atlantic Council in Washington on Tuesday night. "We will certainly be ready to consider every option to ensure the safety and security of our people," he added..

Bilawal said that if the TTP received help from Afghanistan, it would be bad for Pakistani relations. “It is necessary to form a consensus on the Afghan issue because no country wants this country to become a hotbed of global terrorism,” he added.
