Pakistan asks Afghanistan Taliban to take TTP as a 'test case'
Islamabad: The Pakistani government feels that the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is a "test case" for the Afghan Taliban, as tackling the group would help the interim government establish its credentials in the eyes of the world with regards to dealing with other terrorist outfits, a senior official has said.
"We are telling the Taliban leadership to consider the TTP as a test case," the official familiar with the development told The Express Tribune while requesting anonymity.
Interestingly, the Pakistan government and the Taliban share a close tie.
"It will be damaging for the Afghan Taliban if they fail to take into account Pakistan's concerns," the official explained.
