I don't think we have the solution to this mess.
Maybe India can help us?
It is still not so bad that Pakistan would need the help of its main enemy - India. All that the Pakistani government and the PA need is the will to eliminate the terrorists, but that will will cost the PA its strategic depth in Kashmir and Afghanistan.
The Drone strikes kept enormous amount of pressure on the TTP, but the people followed Imran Khan in portraying the TTP as some misguided innocent youth. To eliminate this problem, PA will need to carry out operations on war level, but that will cause innumerable civilian lives, and this time they will not blame the USA, rather PA will become the new 'Satan' in their eyes.
Unless they are eliminated on urgent basis, wait until the US leaves Afghanistan and (Afghan) Taliban gains ground. That will be the biggest existential threat for Pakistan, after all, their (Afghan Taliban) sympathies will lie more with the TTP than with the PA. And after Afghan Taliban comes in power, Durand Line will become exceedingly porous for further infiltrations.
