I wish to believe that but things are never absolute black and white.
previous government was staunch ally of India and TTP were classed as an asset.

I just need to give one example if you are forgetting.

Latif Ullah Mehsood.

this high ranking TTP leader was snatched by the Americans in Afghanistan and handed over to Pakistan.
snatched from whom? you say..
Afghan Taliban?
NO..

he was snatched from NDS by the Americans through force, it was so open and so shocking that even the President Ghani protested at the way Americans forcefully snatched him from NDS secret security convoy while he was being secretly transferred

US forces have captured a senior Pakistan Taliban commander, Latif Mehsud, the state department has said.
The US gave no details of the operation, but Afghan officials said he was seized in eastern Afghanistan and taken to the Bagram base near Kabul.
He was reportedly returning from talks over a mooted prisoner-swap deal, and the capture is said to have angered Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

I totally agree with you that we should not " talk black and white" as anything is possible. In the above report it clearly said that they were trying to reach a deal over prisoner swap, that means they were fighting the Afg gov. I do not see how the TTP who were and are the Afghan Taliban's loyal servants , would be sitting side by side the Afghan gov. The TTP have always been active inside Afghanistan fighting alongside the Afghan Taliban, they still are present in Afghan Taliban's ranks. Coming back to balck and white as you rightly mentioned, the Afghan Taliban also have different factions and loyalties plus the ethnic connections between the TTP and Afghan Taliban is also above anything else. The Afghan republic is long gone and we all have new realities, lets see what happens next. From my point of view, the sooner the TTP is gone, the better for both nations.

It used to be the intelligence agency of Afghanistan (prior to 2021)

Thanks.
