It was formed in Deoband, UP, India; & is still healthy and running there today.
Actually, these Deobandis from India were the ones that initially rejected the concept of Pakistan. I can explain to you the reasons why they did that as well. Anyways, just as Pakistan became a separate homeland...

Considering the regular high levels of infiltration; & high-level, audacious attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan; Pakistan has been doing quite well, & the Mehran base incident was a one-off that can happen anywhere in the world.
