Taliban threaten to attack Imran’s anti-drone rally

[illusion8]

ISLAMABAD: A faction of the Pakistani Taliban on Friday threatened participants of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan's march on Saturday to South Waziristan's tribal region to protest US drone attacks, saying they will "be responsible for any loss of life during the rally''.

The marchers would include 30 American anti-drone campaigners and Khan's sons besides some Western journalists.

The faction distributed pamphlets in Tank, near Waziristan, describing Khan as "an agent of Israel, the US and Britain, who wanted to strengthen the hold of Jewish and Christian forces in the tribal regions of Pakistan''. "Khan's march to South Waziristan is a pack of lies and farce. He only wants to make the tribal areas a stronghold of foreign forces in the garb of raising voice against drone attacks," said the pamphlets.

But Khan vowed to go ahead with the march despite the threat and the government's refusal to allow it. "I will embark on the planned peace march into the tribal region to protest the drone strikes.''

Earlier, the Taliban issued a statement denying reports that they will provide security to the march. "Our Mujahideen are not so cheap that we will deploy them to protect a westernized and secular person," the statement said.

You needs to Add one more point; Pakistani government is involved in destabilizing and indirectly Threatening IK-PTI-Civilians.

Is this the good taliban or bad taliban Imran Bhai?

 

[somebozo]

The only agents here are the Taliban who do not see good in a rally against drone strike and therefore indirectly support drone strikes against Pakistan and its citizen. What a bunch of hypocrites...the wimp government should take action.

Most of above Toilet news being in immediate contact with TTP!

IK have all the right for his march or rally in any part of the country incl. FATA.

Although, on principal grounds, i disagree with IK's direction-less steering of leader-less people of Pakistan.

Media tell us that TTP control FATA!
If TTP control FATA than they do not need to attack, they can move the people against IK.
Why not TTP show there popular support in their so called strong hold?

Such news only, proves TTP is nothing more than bunch of thieves.

No Bullet proof glass...People all around him..
No bullet proof jacket

Oh dear my dear sahib.

Pak government and PPP are inept, but do not accuse them of threatening IK rally out of sheer malice.

Pak gov guys are genuinely worried that god forbid if something happens, the whole world is going to laugh at us and so soon after they laughed at us thanks to Mullee and Ayatullee rallies for that infamous video.

They do not want to see another Benazir incident. Ever again. That brought so much shame to us all the whole country.

So calm down and stop spreading constipated conspiracy theories.

For once let's see the reality here.

I am no fan of PPP or Imran.

I am hoping that other parties lead much bigger rallies to FATA, and not for drones but for real change in that f'd up, bombed out, smuggling and illicit drug haven.

NS and PPP should rally for overturning the draconian FCR, and giving the same Pakistani laws and treating the tribals the same way (good and bad) like the rest of the citizens of Pak,.

It is time for one country, one law.

it is time to get rid of the fing FCR. enough is enough


peace to you. Peace to all.

Political stunt nothing else.... FROM the TTP for you know who....

If there was slight chance of TTP attack on IK, He would have stopped this from the start like he did while going to Quetta.. Also, We all know This (rally) is just a political stunt, not to stop these Drone Attacks... If he was so against US Drone, He should have joined DPC rally against opening up the routes.

Any how Best of Luck PTI, As they are working very hard to make this Rally successful. NOT for the people of tribal areas, but to get some voters from that Area ..

 

[Bhairava]

Well Imran has more political acumen that I thought...Congratz.

 

[illusion8]

Looks like IK needs to announce a bounty on the anti Islam film maker - TTP will remove him from their target list for sure then

 

[--,-'{@]

deluded bunch of ar$eholes! axing their own foot.

 

[Kompromat]

Well Imran has more political acumen that I thought...Congratz.

He is a man who doesn't fear death, he will go to Waziristan and these American proxies will see it.

 

[livingdead]

It might be possible that some talibans who are particularly religious do not like Imran khan (he is westernized,ex wife is jewish etc might not be liked by some? )
