Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar accused the interim Afghan administration of providing support to the TTP, which he claimed is using Afghan soil to plot cross-border attacks against Pakistan.

“During the last two years when the Afghan Taliban returned to power, terrorist attacks have increased by 60%, while suicide attacks increased by 500% in Pakistan,” Kakar said.

Earlier on Monday, Rehman met with Afghanistan’s acting Prime Minister Mullah Hasan Akhund, and acting Deputy Prime Minister Maulvi Abdul Kabir in Kabul.

An 11-member delegation, headed by the JUI-F chief, and including former South Waziristan MNA Maulana Jamaluddin Mehsud, Mufti Ibrar and members from the Haqqani religious seminary, are in Afghanistan since January 7.
