What is the main reason behind the increasing tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan?,

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is also called Pakistani Taliban. It is a banned terrorist organization and extremist group, which is active in the Afghan-Pakistan border area. This is the same organization which is currently the main cause of violence erupting on the border. Both sides have suffered heavy casualties in this conflict.
