TTP wants to merge with Al-Qaeda, report presented in Security Council on the status of terrorist organizations

According to a report tabled in the United Nations Security Council, Pakistan's banned terrorist organization Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is looking to merge with the global terrorist organization Al Qaeda. TTP is also considering that all terrorist organizations operating in South Asia should come under one banner so that it would be easier for them to coordinate and commit crimes.
Some UN member states have raised concerns that the TTP now seeks to relinquish tutelage to the Taliban operating in Afghanistan. Due to this, no one can be talked about controlling TTP. With the Taliban being in power in Afghanistan, it is easy to talk to its leaders and put some degree of pressure on them.
The report which has been presented in the Security Council has been prepared by the UN committee which monitors the terrorist incidents happening in the world and formulates its opinion on them. The report also mentions Pakistan's complaint that TTP's influence has increased after the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan.
It has been said in the report that after the merger of Al Qaeda and TTP, the global terrorist organization can suggest new ways for TTP to attack Pakistan and provide many facilities. But the ruling Taliban in Afghanistan has rejected the report presented by the Security Council. Said that there is no presence of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. So the question of merging it with TTP does not arise.
According to the report of the United Nations, training camps of many terrorist organizations are running in the Kunar province of Afghanistan, some of them may also be of TTP. Like the Afghan Taliban, the Pakistani Taliban is also now dreaming of increasing its influence and capturing the power of Pakistan. He wants to start this from the Pakistani area bordering Afghanistan. At present TTP does not have the capacity to permanently capture any area of Pakistan.
