The Pakistani armed group Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) which has its link with Al- Qaeda had called off a truce agreement with the government in June, and has now ordered it's fighters to carry out attacks in the entire country.

According to TTP's statement, the decision to end the truce was taken after "a series of non-stop attacks that were launched by military organisations" in Bannu and Lakki Marwat areas  of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.

There was a decline in TTP's activities from 2014 to 2018 due to Pakistani military actions, U.S. drone warfare, and factional infighting.

But the militant group has been experiencing a strong resurgence since the Afghan Taliban and U.S. government signed a peace deal in February 2020.

Moreover, ten militant groups opposed to the Pakistani state have merged with the TTP, since July 2020.

Following these mergers, TTP's violence has become more frequent, and it  continues to accelerate as a result of the Afghan Taliban's takeover in Kabul in August 2021.

The TTP accuses Pakistani government for not fulfilling its main demand that is the Reversal of the merger of former Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) with Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and the repeated detention of TTP members.

The militant group directly seeks to establish an Islamic caliphate in Pakistan by overthrowing the Pakistani government and it's military, this creates a challenge for Sharif government and the new Army chief General Asim Munir.

Whereas India on it's part do not have a direct threat but would need to increase its patrolling and surveillance near the LAC.
