Peshawar, Nov 13: Pakistan’s security forces and agencies have been using heinous tactics under a systematic conspiracy called ‘Operation’ to sabotage the law and order situation in Mir Ali Tehsil in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province and create fear and panic among the local population, according to Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP)
During the recent operations, the Pakistan army and paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) have tried to create a false impression that the Mujahideen of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan use mosques for military purposes or to hide weapons, its spokesman Muhammad Khorasani said in a statement.
He said the Pakistan army and FC were creating the false impression by demolishing local mosques and displaying their own weapons and ammunition in front of the media to portray these as those of the TTP.
“Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan strongly denies this fabricated and baseless propaganda and wants to inform the people about the facts and clarify that the Mujahideen associated with the movement consider the protection of their religious rituals, mosques and places of worship as their religious and moral duty.
“The Mujahideen cannot even imagine using mosques for military purposes or to store weapons, but they are centers of worship of God Almighty and the teaching of the Quran and Sunnah (which includes the teaching of jihad),” the spokesman said.
“Martyring and desecrating mosques is actually the custom of the same brutal and slave (Pakistan l) army that does not feel even the slightest shame in calling itself the guardians of the holy shrines. To cover up this heinous crime and avoid public reaction, they are now resorting to false videos and fabricated stories,” he said.
“The sole purpose of all this drama is to create hatred against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan in the hearts of the local tribes and the people and to cast doubt on the Shariah status of this sacred defensive jihad against the army,” he said.
Khorasani appealed to the zealous people, elders and scholars of Waziristan not to fall prey to this false propaganda of the army and “recognize these tricks of the enemy and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan to establish lasting peace in our areas rich in mineral resources.” (NVI)
