Background:-

Pakistan has been suffering from Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a terrorist and extremist group operating in the Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Thousands of innocent citizens have died due to suicide attacks and infrastructure of millions of  dollars has been destroyed by organized attacks on Government institutions. When PML(N) formed their Government in the centre, P.M Nawaz Sharif announced peace talks with the Taliban to stop terrorism in Pakistan. As a result peace dialogue started in Pakistan between the Government and the TTP nominated representatives. The peace talk failed when the TTP altogether with Islamic movement of Uzbekistan attacked the Karachi Airport on 8th of June, 2014. The Government took the decision to start an operation in North Waziristan to take out militants. On 15th of June the operation started when the Pakistan Air Force Jets took down hideouts of militants in Datta Khel, NW.
