Peshawar, March 28 (NVI) In a rare statement, the Amir of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Abu Mansoor Asim Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud has slammed the Pakistani military establishment, saying it is responsible for all the problems, including security, political and economic, that the country is facing.
The TTP chief, whose outfit is engaged in a ‘war’ against the Pakistani establishment with the aim of establishing Sharia laws in the country, asked “all classes and strata” of the nation to “seriously make a plan and find a way to get rid of this military calamity”.
In the statement issued on the occasion of the upcoming Eid-ul Fitr, the TTP chief conveyed his greetings to the Muslims and blasted the Pakistani establishment, saying the officials did not stop oppression against the Muslims even during the Holy month of Ramadan.
“In the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims generally try to implement the orders of the Allah, save themselves from disobedience of the Allah, generally show sympathy among themselves, and remember our Muslim brothers and sisters in their food and drink and prosperity. We should continue these practices in other months as well,” he said.
“I must also remind you that in the blessed month of Ramadan, the series of oppression by the government officials did not stop in our dear country (Pakistan),” he said, adding there was widespread desecration, corpses were thrown at various places and torture and merciless bombing continued unabated.
“It is a pity that the calls for action against this oppression were not heeded to, and the voices that were raised against this oppression were not heard. Instead, messages of sympathy with the oppressive institutions were published in the media by certain classes and individuals for the sake of achieving their own goals,” he said.
The TTP chief said the 78-year history of Pakistan bears testimony to the fact that these oppressive forces (Pakistani military) flourish when there is a state of “confusion”.
“All the problems — security, political, economic, etc — being faced by Pakistan are big projects and plans by the military establishment and not without any reason,” he said.
“In order to solve these self-made problems, all classes and strata of Pakistan should seriously make a plan and find a way to get rid of this military calamity, so that the oppressed people can be given their rights according to the Islamic system,” he said.
“Although this is a difficult phase, it also involves sacrifice. But there is no other choice. If it does not happen today, then tomorrow, the entire population will be affected by it,” he said.
The TTP leader also slammed the “rulers of Pakistani” for developing animostic relations with “the Muslim neighbour”, Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, “to achieve their own personal interests and to make the Western masters happy” and said “They (Pakistani rulers) have clearly betrayed the country… it is treason.” (NVI)
