TTP in collaboration with RAW is involved in fomenting militancy against Pakistan. The current wave of terrorism has been started when , MQM rebels  group heading by former Karachi mayor Mustafa Kamal  of Karachi    have opened their  guns towards Mr. Altaf Hussain while claiming that MQM Indian prime agency is supporting MQM against Pakistan .

Although since inception of war against terrorism Pakistan is facing major brunt of militancy but due to efforts of security agencies and nation’s determination, glaring declines in incidents has been noticed. According to STAP reports “Pakistan witnessed a decrease of 34 percent in terrorism activities during the year 2015 as compared to 2014. Official sources reveal that terrorism reduced from 5,496 in 2014 to 3,625 in 2015. In 2016 terrorism activities in Charsada , Mardan and now in Peshawar have been noticed . Still these 80 percent decline in terror acts and extremism by breaking network of terrorists in FATA, Karachi and Balochistan after developing much needed consensus among the political parties. In fact these achievements are due to the fact that all political forces clustered around National Action Plan (NAP) to take it to logical conclusion. The nation is convinces that NAP has also brought relief to the nation as the country has witnessed overall decline in heinous offences.
