Pakistan, thus, has to understand that talking to the TTP would serve them, providing a space to recruit more people to attack Pakistan. Since then Pakistan had given more than 80,000 lives to bring security back to normal. The strategic depth policy of Pakistan to help the Afghan Taliban though was a good approach to dismantle the military nexus of the USA and India in Afghanistan as they were operating without the input of Pakistan or considering its geographical interests. But given the Afghan Taliban at the helm now, Pakistan needs to change its policy of counter-terrorism so that it could dismantle all terror organizations which are operating from across the border. Pakistan should form a new counter-terrorism policy in association with the USA, as an unstable Pakistan would ultimately engulf the region and may lead to global jihad once again which is in fact a violation of the Doha Agreement.
