Islamabad, June 28, 2021 (PPI-OT): In a statement, Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said over last many years, Taliban has launched several gruesome terrorist attacks inside Pakistan using Afghan soil without any retribution from its hosts. He said the assertions of the Afghan side are contrary to facts on ground and various UN reports, which also corroborate the presence and activities of over 5000-strong TTP in Afghanistan.

The spokesperson said the Taliban, following its orchestrated reunification with its splinter groups with help of Hostile Intelligence Agencies, its continued presence in Afghanistan with impunity and its cross-border attacks against Pakistan pose persistent threat to our security and stability. Pakistan has continued to emphasize the need for meaningful engagement with Afghan side for addressing security and terrorism issues through effective use of Afghanistan-Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Solidarity.
