Same old CIA boogeyman politics? If your assertion is correct then why TTP did not collapse after US/NATO exit from Afghanistan? Afghan Taliban are in charge of affairs in Afghanistan and TTP continues to function and kill Pakistani troops.
Nothing have changed on the ground:
Afghan Taliban support for TTP
Another source of tensions between Kabul and Islamabad has been the TTP. The armed group fought alongside the Afghan Taliban against the US and its allies for years and the two have a strong bond. When the Taliban took power on August 15, they set free hundreds of TTP men, including some prominent leaders, incarcerated in Afghan jails. Much of the TTP leadership is based in Afghanistan and many members, according to Afghan and Pakistanis journalistic sources, are receiving support.
Since it was founded in 2007, the TTP has been responsible for deadly violence in Pakistan, attacking both security forces and civilians. The Pakistani authorities believe that the TTP, along with al-Qaeda and some affiliated groups, has so far killed more than 80,000 Pakistanis and inflicted economic losses of more than $150bn.
In 2014, the Pakistani army launched a major offensive against the TTP, forcing many of its members to flee to Afghanistan. After an initial lull in violence, the TTP started to escalate its attacks again in recent years. In 2021, as the Taliban advanced in Afghanistan, TTP fighters intensified their assaults in Pakistan. There were at least two attacks also targeting Chinese workers and the Chinese ambassador to Pakistan, which unsettled Beijing, a close ally of Islamabad.
Before the Taliban takeover of Kabul last year, Pakistani officials repeatedly argued that the presence of the US and its allies in Afghanistan fed the TTP insurgency. But recent events have shown that the victory of the Afghan Taliban has only emboldened the TTP.
A ceasefire between the armed group and the Pakistani military negotiated with the help of the Afghan Taliban government in November was short-lived. The TTP resumed their attacks in December against security forces and civilians, even as secret talks with representatives of the Pakistani government have continued.
So far, the mediation of the Afghan Taliban has not produced any significant results and its support for the TTP continues. If violence in Pakistan escalates, that could put more strain on Kabul-Islamabad relations. And such an escalation is quite likely.
The Afghan Taliban is worried that pressing the TTP too hard could push it towards its enemy, the Islamic State-Khorasan Province (ISKP), and the TTP itself is apprehensive about desertions within its ranks if it does not continue with its hardline approach to the Pakistan government, which it wants to overthrow.
Tensions over border demarcation and TTP violence may damage relations between Islamabad and Kabul.

Let me tell you something. Americans are known to disclose their intentions when they come for a person. They openly threatened Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein among others. They are taking jabs at Vladimir Putin lately (some including Joe Biden have openly called for him to be ousted). They will be VOCAL if (or when) they decide to target Imran Khan. They do not have play hide-and-seek with Imran Khan from behind-the-scenes.
"All the chaprasi minded pandoo Patwari leaders saw an opportunity and are now trying to cash out...."
Why GOP failed to prosecute these corrupt politicians including Nawaz Sharif?
Why was PDM allowed to emerge?
WHO will prosecute this gang?
Nawaz Sharif is in London and calling the shots from there.
IF foreign hands are involved in this matter then UK is prime suspect followed by KSA because Sharif brothers have links in both. But I am not into accusations.
Many in Pakistan are already confused and people like you are adding to confusion.
Imran Khan should EXPOSE all those who are conspiring against him. No need to play "mind-games."
And he must do something about corruption - TALKS are not enough.
People expect results, not talks.
