Share:KABUL - The Afghan Taliban administration on Sunday rejected Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah’s remarks pertaining to outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan’s (TTP) hideouts in Afghanistan, calling them ‘provocative’ and ‘baseless’. In an interview with a private TV channel last week, Sanaullah had said that Pakistan may target TTP militants in Afghanistan if authorities in Kabul did not take any action against them. “Afghanistan is our brotherly country and we will first talk to them to dismantle the TTP hideouts and hand over the group’s members to Pakistan,” the interior minister had said. It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan has seen an uptick in terrorist attacks across the country, believed to have been planned and directed by the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leaders based in Afghanistan. Pakistan has been pressing successive governments in Kabul to take action against the TTP and other militants based in Afghanistan.
