Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan faced a growing backlash Thursday after he said former Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was “martyred“.
Khan made the comment in parliament as he was describing the history of Pakistan’s troubled relations with the US since American special forces killed bin Laden in 2011 in the northern city of Abbottabad.
Pakistani Prime Minister’s comments: Osama bin Laden was martyred
“The Americans came to Abbottabad and killed Osama bin Laden. Martyred him,” Khan said.

Martyrs are greatly revered in Islam and the term is generally used for people who die or are killed while in the service of the religion, or in formidable circumstances. The use of the term was seen to have reflected a subtle stab at Washington as it’s mainly used for honorable figures slain in battle. It has also been interpreted by people on social media as an effort from Pakistan to appease the Afghan Taliban and keep them on the negotiating table.

Khan also said Washington used abusive language against Pakistan, blaming Islamabad for its failures in neighboring Afghanistan and most of all — refused to tell Islamabad of its operation against bin Laden in 2011 before carrying out the Navy SEALs nighttime raid. The special operations force swooped into Pakistan’s military garrison town of Abbottabad in the middle of the night on May 2, 2011, killing bin Laden and several of his operatives.

“The way we supported America in the war on terror, and the insults we had to face in return … They blamed us for every failure in Afghanistan. They openly held us responsible because they did not succeed in Afghanistan,” Khan said.

Opposition flays Imran Khan for his comments
The prime minister faced blowback from opposition figures and observers following the televised speech.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister thinks Osama bin Laden was martyred: huge debate sparked
 
. .
He makes a speech and i personally just slipped up with his wording.
Suddenly there is a frenzy of haters suddenly jumping up and down. Im not defending him but why do we have difficulty in Pakistan giving the benefit of the doubt to whom we elect? Would you rather have Zardari or the Sharif family coming back and showing you how to really fukc Pakistan up?

the guy is only parroting what his master is saying, the master never considered reprercussions of that, master thinks china will come and save pakistan despite all odds.

lol our opposition noonies and PeePeePees are so pathetic

the whole speech was excellent and real slap to the opposition who had no defense against it .. except this hala balloo which now the much bruised indians will join in i am sure for tonic relief.

funny when i heard it.. i did not think much of it.. as Imran never thought very well of Al Qaida or the Afgan jihad war etc. he was always critical of it.

People in Pakistan i notice use words with out much understanding.. e.g. PIA crash victims = Shaheed , Bhutto = Saheed etc. even the hindus in india also at times use it ..lol

Shaheed is reserved for true matyrs and is a highly prized and selective title....OBL is certainly not one of them

The claim is false as PM Imran misspoke, his adviser Shahbaz Gill issued a clarification.PHOTO: EXPRESS/FILE

Footage of Prime Minister Imran Khan calling the slain al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden a martyr has gone viral, especially in India where their official propaganda machine has gone into an overdrive to malign Pakistan.

The Express Tribune has analysed the video and previous interviews of Khan and found the premier merely misspoke as has been clarified by his spokesperson.

What he said?

“I will never forget how we Pakistanis were embarrassed when the Americans came into Abbottabad and killed Osama bin Laden, martyred him,” PM Imran said in his speech while recounting the lows of the relationship between Islamabad and Washington.

The segment of the speech soon went viral in India, which is always on the lookout for an opportunity to malign Pakistan, and was shown as supposed proof that Pakistan supported the terror group.

Clarification

Special assistant to PM on political communication Dr Shahbaz Gill denounced an “unwarranted attempt” to create a controversy.

Referring to PM’s speech in NA today, it is clarified that PM twice used the word “killed” for OBL. An unwarranted attempt is being made at home/abroad with a clear intent to make his remarks controversial unnecessarily.

“Referring to PM’s speech in NA today, it is clarified that PM twice used the word ‘killed’ for Osama bin Laden. An unwarranted attempt is being made at home/abroad with a clear intent to make his remarks controversial unnecessarily,” Gill wrote on his official Twitter handle.

PM’s and Pakistan’s commitment against terrorism is unwavering and our track record in eliminating this menace is better than anyone else in the world.

— Dr. Shahbaz GiLL (@SHABAZGIL) June 25, 2020

He went on to add that “Islamabad’s commitment against tis unwavering and our track record in eliminating this menace is better than anyone else in the world”.

Sci-tech Minister Fawad Chaudhry and Information Minister Shibli Faraz have also clarified that it was misstep.

PML-N leader Khawaja Asif was among those who objected to the premier’s remark. He described Bin Laden as the “ultimate terrorist”.

“He destroyed my nation, and he (Imran) is calling him a martyr,” Asif said in his reply on the floor of the house.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, whose PPP was in power when Bin Laden was killed, accused the prime minister of appeasing violent extremism.
Premier Imran’s stance on Bin Laden has been consistent and clear as it evident from his previous interviews.

When India’s NDTV had asked him about the death of Bin Laden, he had said, “The way in which he [Osama bin Laden was killed has made him a martyr in the eyes of certain extremist circles.”


The prime minister went on to say that Washington should have taken him into custody and then put him on trial to “demystify” the entire episode.


“Osama should have been dealt with the same way Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and the Nazi leaders were held accountable for their crimes,” he added.

Yes I did, did you understand what iI posted? This is not new. Pakistanis like to debate for time pass
I pointed out that IK cant make such statements when his country needs all the help it can get.
What do think will happen to EDA?
How will the EU,NATO,5 EYES etc react to this?
What will be the economic consequences with the ''West''?
You talk about debate,there is nothing to debate here,this is a red line for the US.
As the leader of a poor dependent country,you dont make such statements.
The video is of no relevance here.
