India’s Terror Franchise: Using Afghan Soil and Proxies to Bleed Pakistan Through the TTP and BLA Nexus

India’s Terror Franchise: Using Afghan Soil and Proxies to Bleed Pakistan Through the TTP and BLA Nexus

February 22, 2026 Off By Sharp Media

Pakistan is facing a brutal, state-sponsored terrorism campaign orchestrated by Indian intelligence using Afghan soil as a launchpad. This “thousand cuts” strategy, executed through the TTP and BLA, has transformed Afghanistan into a lawless sanctuary for Indian-funded aggression. The catastrophic spike in violence throughout 2025 and early 2026 is not an internal crisis, but a manufactured one where Indian capital buys Afghan complicity to murder Pakistani citizens. By weaponizing hired assassins and suicide bombers, New Delhi has replaced diplomacy with the systematic export of terrorism, posing the gravest threat to regional peace in the 21st century.

1. The Statistical Indictment of Indian-Backed Terrorism

1.1. The 2025 Surge in Violence and Foreign Direct Investment in Terror

The year 2025 stands as a bloody testament to the intensified terrorism directed from abroad. According to official security reports, Pakistan faced a staggering 699 terrorism-related attacks within a single calendar year. This represents a violent 34% increase in terrorism incidents compared to the previous period, proving that the handlers in New Delhi have shifted their gears into a high-intensity conflict. These numbers are not mere statistics; they represent a funded escalation of terrorism that targets the very fabric of the Pakistani state.

1.2. The Human Cost of Proxy Warfare and Indian Patronage

The human cost of this Indian-managed project has been devastating. In 2025, the recorded fatalities reached 1,034 people killed, while 1,366 injured survivors continue to bear the scars of this foreign aggression. The strategic targeting of the security apparatus is evident in the martyrdom of 437 security personnel who laid down their lives defending the frontier against these foreign-funded mercenaries. Simultaneously, the cold-blooded murder of 354 civilians reveals the true, barbaric face of the terrorism operating under Indian patronage.

2. Regional Destabilization and the Western Frontier Strategy

2.1. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: The Frontline of Indian Aggression

The geography of these terrorism acts clearly identifies the facilitators. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) bore the brunt of this foreign-funded terrorism wave with 413 incidents, resulting in 581 deaths and 698 injuries. This is a calculated move by Indian planners to use terrorism to stretch Pakistan’s military resources and sabotage regional stability through persistent violence.

2.2. Balochistan and the Indian Sabotage of CPEC

Balochistan was targeted with 254 terrorism attacks, leading to 419 fatalities and 607 wounded. This dual-front pressure is a deliberate attempt to disrupt the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). New Delhi’s obsession with sabotaging Pakistan’s economic progress has led it to invest billions of dollars into these terrorism networks. This is a comprehensive war of terrorism aimed specifically at the economic arteries of the Pakistani nation.

2.3. Urban Terror and Sectarian Tactics in the Capital

The urban centers were not spared, as evidenced by the targeted terrorism strike on an Islamabad Imam Bargah. By striking the federal capital, the Indo-Afghan nexus sought to project an image of vulnerability and incite sectarian chaos. Sindh also recorded terrorism incidents resulting in 14 deaths and 17 injuries, primarily in Karachi, where Indian-backed elements continue to target economic hubs.

3. February 2026: The Bloody Signature of RAW Terrorism

3.1. The High-Profile Assassination in Bannu and Military Targets

The carnage has reached a fever pitch in February 2026, with missions that bear the unmistakable hallmark of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). On February 21, 2026, a suicide terrorism bombing in Bannu targeted a security convoy, martyring two soldiers including a high-ranking Lieutenant Colonel. This is a deliberate attempt to target the leadership of the Pakistan Army through foreign-funded terrorism.

3.2. The Massacre of Innocents and Children in Bajaur

This followed a horrific mid-February suicide terrorism attack in Bajaur that claimed the lives of 11 soldiers and a young girl. The death of a child in this explosion highlights the depravity of the TTP handlers sitting in their safe houses across the border, fueled entirely by Indian currency.

3.3. Targeting the Heart of the Community through Motorcycle Bombings

On February 16, 2026, a motorcycle terrorism bombing near a police station in Bannu killed a child and multiple others. These are not random acts of militancy; they are direct terrorism operations launched from New Delhi, utilizing their Afghan-based assets to challenge the sovereignty of the Pakistani state.

4. The Afghan Sanctuary and the Machinery of Terrorism

4.1. The Failure of Afghan Neutrality and Persistent Safe Havens

Afghanistan has shifted from a neighbor to a primary facilitator of terrorism. Despite repeated diplomatic assurances, Afghan soil remains a protected safe haven for the TTP’s terrorism infrastructure. It is no secret that Indian intelligence officers operate under various covers within Afghanistan to coordinate these terrorism groups against Pakistani targets.

4.2. Pakistan’s Iron-Clad Response and Counter-Terror Operations

Pakistan’s security forces have conducted a relentless defense, executing over 67,000 intelligence-based operations in 2025 alone to neutralize these foreign threats. While these operations resulted in the elimination of over 2,115 terrorists, the root cause remains the unchecked support provided to these groups within Afghan territory.

4.3. The Sovereign Right to Self-Defense and Cross-Border Pursuit

Pakistan maintains the absolute, non-negotiable right to pursue these terrorism networks wherever they reside. The continued use of Afghan territory by Indian proxies constitutes an act of war and a direct act of terrorism against the Pakistani people.

5. Exposing the Puppet Masters of Global Terrorism

5.1. The Financial Backbone and Logistics of Indian Militancy

The international community can no longer remain silent about India’s role as the primary financier of regional terrorism. The TTP and BLA do not operate in a vacuum; they require the sophisticated logistics and financial depth that only a state sponsor of terrorism like India can provide.

5.2. A Call for Global Accountability and Sanctions against New Delhi

The dossiers presented by Pakistan contain irrefutable evidence of this nexus. Pakistan’s resolve remains unshakable, and the martyrdom of over 400 security personnel in a single year only strengthens the national will. The puppet masters of terrorism in New Delhi stand exposed. It is time for global sanctions and accountability for the state that has made terrorism its primary export.
