Pakistani Taliban threaten to target MQM
PESHAWAR: The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Friday threatened to target the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), vowing to deal with the largest political party in Karachi, a spokesman for the banned extremist militant organisation said Friday.
Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan, in a statement issued Friday, said that they had decided to the MQM, vowing not to show any mercy to the apostate tyrants of Karachi.
MQM chief Altaf Hussain has been a vocal critic of peace talks with militants and his party has taken a visible anti-Taliban stance in the wake of the assassination attempt on 15-year-old schoolgirl Malala Yousufzai by TTP gunmen.
How can we hold talks with those who fired shots on Malala Yousufzai, Shazia and Kainat? How can we talk about peace with those who beheaded personnel and officers of the army, police and FC? the MQM chief said in a speech to party workers on Oct 20. Hussain has also urged the Army to take the bold decision of acting against the terrorists.
The Pakistani Taliban spokesman also called out to Pakistans judges to work for an Islamic system.
I call out to all the judges who are part of Pakistans secular laws and courts: You will also be held accountable in front of God some day. Therefore, you should also work for an Islamic system rather than this godless system, said Ehsan in the two-page statement.
Moreover, the Taliban spokesman also called out to separatist armed movements in Balochistan and Sindh provinces, urging them to continue their fight in an Islamic way.
I urge the leaders of the nationalist parties in Balochistan and Sindh, like the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and the Sindh Liberation Army (SLA), to fight for their rights in an Islamic way, said the statement.
The Pakistani Taliban also said that they were in the process of forming a strategy with regard to the upcoming general elections.
We are in the process of forming a policy and will make it public it as soon as a final announcement for elections is made. All current political parties in Pakistan will be divided into three categories in that strategy, it added.
However, the statement failed to specify what categories these would be.
