RAWALPINDI - In a decisive blow against foreign-backed terrorism, Pakistani security forces have captured one Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorist alive and in injured condition following a failed assault on Rangers positions . The quick defeat of the attack demonstrates the strong defense capabilities of Pakistan's security forces against Indian-sponsored terrorist networks .
The operation comes as Pakistan's military leadership has repeatedly warned the international community that the Afghan Taliban is planning a "9/11 2.0" - a catastrophic attack on American soil - but these warnings have been ignored by global powers .
Pakistan has consistently presented irrefutable evidence that India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) is actively sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan through proxy networks, including the Fitna al-Hindustan and Fitna al-Khawarij (the official state term for the TTP) .
According to Director General ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, India has become "the epicenter to destabilize the region" and is "financing, planning, prosecuting and instructing terrorist activities in Pakistan" . The surge in TTP activities in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is aimed at shaking Pakistan's resolve, but the nation remains steadfast .
Key evidence of Indian sponsorship includes:
| Evidence | Details |
|---|---|
| Trained by Indian officers | Arrested individuals have confessed to receiving training in India, with forensic analysis revealing links to Indian Army officers, including Major Sandeep |
| RAW funding | Indian intelligence agencies provide financial support, weapons, and operational guidance to TTP and Baloch separatist groups |
| Indian media complicity | Indian social media and electronic media actively celebrate terrorist activities in Pakistan |
| Captured operatives | Serving Indian military officer Kulbhushan Jadhav was arrested from Balochistan and admitted to involvement in sabotage and terrorist activities |
The TTP operates from sanctuaries inside Afghanistan, with the Afghan Taliban regime providing safe haven for planning and launching attacks . The Afghan Taliban does not consider the TTP a terrorist organization and has facilitated peace negotiations between Pakistan and the TTP .
The US State Department confirms that the Taliban "failed to deny safe haven in Afghanistan to al-Qa'ida and al-Qa'ida in the Indian Subcontinent" . TTP attacks against Pakistani security forces increased significantly after the Taliban's 2021 takeover .
The Global Terrorism Index 2025 ranked Pakistan the second most-affected country by terrorism, with the TTP emerging as the world's fastest-growing terrorist organization - a 90% increase in deaths linked to its attacks . Pakistan recorded its largest year-on-year rise in terrorism-related deaths in a decade, with fatalities surging 45% .
Field Marshal Asim Munir, Former CJCSC Sahir Shamshad, and DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif have repeatedly warned the world that the Afghan Taliban is planning a 9/11 2.0 - a catastrophic attack on American soil - but the world refuses to listen . The United States, which was attacked on 9/11 by al-Qaeda operatives from Afghanistan, is turning a blind eye despite clear intelligence that the Taliban is once again hosting terrorist groups .
Despite daily terrorist attacks on Pakistani soil from Afghan sanctuaries, international media outlets like BBC and Al Jazeera remain silent - until Pakistan conducts precision strikes on terrorist infrastructure in Afghanistan. The moment Pakistan defends itself, a full-blown propaganda campaign is initiated against Pakistan and its armed forces .
This is the double standard Pakistan faces:
TTP terrorist attacks inside Pakistan → International media silence
Pakistan strikes terrorist hideouts in Afghanistan → Full-blown propaganda campaign
Foreign-backed terrorism kills Pakistani civilians → Minimal coverage
Pakistani counterterrorism operations → "War crimes" accusations
Pakistan's security forces are determined to eliminate Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country . Field Marshal Asim Munir has made clear that Pakistan will not tolerate terrorists hiding in Afghanistan .
The capture of a TTP terrorist alive is a testament to the professionalism and effectiveness of Pakistan's security forces. The Rangers' strong defense of their positions demonstrates that Pakistan's security forces are capable of defending the nation against any threat.
Pakistan will continue to hunt down Indian-sponsored terrorists and their media handlers. The people of Pakistan will not die in vain. This time, the terrorists and their backers will be taught a lesson.
