Washington: Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto said on Thursday that the Afghan Taliban have been told that the outlawed TTP is Pakistan’s red line and if the terrorist organization is not controlled, Islamabad’s relations with Kabul will be affected.
Bilawal Bhutto said while talking to the media at the Pakistani Embassy in Washington, “If we find out that the Taliban is not stopping the TTP, we will not ignore it.”
The increasing incidence of terrorism has alerted security agencies in the country as the hostage crisis has sent shockwaves across the country. During this year, more than 120 police personnel were martyred and more than 125 were injured in various attacks on the police force in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Top Pakistani diplomats are in the US where they held meetings during which they met the UN chief, chaired the G77 meeting and addressed the Atlantic Council in Washington.
Expressing his concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the country due to increasing attacks by TTP from Afghan soil, Bilawal said that if the Taliban carry out operations against the militants, Pakistan should provide assistance if required. will
He said that no new cooperation agreement was signed with the US for counter-terrorism.
“We insist on releasing the frozen funds to the Afghan people and not to the Taliban. They [the Taliban] promised the US and the world to take action against extremist groups,” Bilawal said.
In response to a question, the foreign minister said that it is necessary to sell the building owned by Pakistan in Washington because the condition of the property is bad.
Taxes and other expenses are high on it. But I am not in favor of selling hotels in New York.
When Bilawal was asked about the elections in Pakistan, he said that the elections will be held on time and Imran Khan wants early elections to help rigging.
The foreign minister said that the institutions confined themselves to their constitutional role but some politicians were spreading hatred and giving the impression of hostility to political differences.
