Terror spreading in Pakistan after the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan
The terrorist organization TTP has gained strength in Pakistan since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan is considered the most dangerous of all the terrorist organizations that exist in Pakistan, which is called the factory of terrorism. This organization took responsibility for the attack on Malala Yousafzai. It was he who attacked the Sainik School in Peshawar and killed 114 children.
The roots of the Pakistani Taliban had started at the same time when many terrorists fled from Afghanistan after the US action in 2002 and were hiding in the tribal areas of Pakistan. When the action against these terrorists started, there was opposition to the Pakistan Army in the Swat Valley. Many rebel groups began to flourish in the tribal areas.
In such a situation, in December 2007, 13 groups under the leadership of Baitullah Mehsud decided to join a Tehreek i.e. campaign, hence the organization was named Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. In short, it is also called TTP or Pakistani Taliban. It is a separate organization from the Taliban of Afghanistan, but the intentions are more or less the same. Both organizations want to implement Sharia law.
