What I have said the truth but you do not want to accept that. Before you calling people as bigot racist, read the facts.
Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
**Punjabi Taliban
The Punjabi Taliban (Urdu: پنجابی طالبان), sometimes called the Tehrik-i-Taliban Punjab, is an alleged loose network of members of banned militant groups based in South Punjab, the southernmost region of Pakistan’s most populous Punjab province. Major factions of the so-called Punjabi Taliban include operatives of Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan and Jaysh-i-Muhammad, who have previously been involved in the Kashmir insurgency with India in Indian-administered Kashmir, a territory claimed and disputed by Pakistan. TTP has significant recruits from Punjab based sectarian organizations also called Punjabi Taliban.[10
