Terrorists block Babusar road, take GB minister and two foreigners hostage

I remember posting a video clip on this forum last year, where this militant commander was giving interview to a media guy near Babusar top, and it was repeatedly deleted as propaganda, even after BBC urdu reported on the incident. I was also issued warnings to not post it again, I believe The Eagle was the mod. But that was back when there was dosti between pti fanboys and the army fanboys. Lets see how it's seen now.​

GILGIT: Militants set up blockades on one of the major arteries linking Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with Gilgit-Baltistan, leaving a senior minister and several tourists stranded on Babusar Road near Chilas on Friday, sources told Dawn.

A voice clip shared on social media purportedly features Senior GB Minister Abaidullah Baig as saying that he was on his way from Islamabad to Gilgit when militants blocked the road to press authorities for the release of their accomplices from jail.

Sources said Habibur Rahman, GB’s most wanted militant commander who was accused of killing 10 foreigners in Nanga Parbat, and his accomplices blocked the road in Thak Village of Chilas in Diamer on Friday around 4pm, leaving travellers on both sides stranded.

Sources said the militants were demanding the release of their accomplices, including those involved in the gruesome murder of foreigners in the Nanga Parbat area and other terrorist incidents in Diamer.

Dawn tried to contact police and officials to confirm the reports, however, no one responded until the filing of this report on Friday night.

Sources said political leaders and officials from the district were engaged in negotiations with the militants.

Later, an interview said to be that of the GB minister surfaced on social media. In the audio clip, a man could be heard saying that negotiations with the commanders were underway who had two basic demands. “They have sought release of their accomplices from jails and imposition of Islamic laws, with no women sports activities,” he said.

Don't be so harsh on your brain.

I can post tons of videos of IK supporting and speaking for Taliban in all his interviewis to various news channels.

 

[Olympus81]

If Imran Khan supports Taliban/TTP then he be damned as well.

Now what’s the excuse of the generals allowing TTP in Babusar? Or it’s not their domain?

He does not support the Taliiban but he supports talks wiith groups that want to solve the issue's on
the table. Then there are groups which will not talk and the Army has to do their job, if they get some time
away from DHA.

So where is that CPEC security division of army which was raised to protect KK Highway?

Pakistan's military is the one who is fighting these terrorists while IK maintains strategic silence.

He does not support the Taliiban but he supports talks wiith groups that want to solve the issue's on
the table. Then there are groups which will not talk and the Army has to do their job, if they get some time
away from DHA.

Where is IK's statement and postition on this development?

 

[Olympus81]

There is no strategic silence from IK.

The army has had a decent success fighting TTP during IK’s tenure and not one time did IK condemn the army or condone the TTP.

He spoke about the Afghan Taliban; "broken the shackles of slavery"

Not the type of stuff you want to say publicly as PM

Well yes, that was a very stupid thing to say. He kind of blurts out idiotic statement once in a while.

Gen Kiyani was handed a mess that he managed to sail through and ensured stability of the country. During his tenure though security situation was at its worst but he did his best to handover a stable state to his successor. Now look at Haji, he was handed everything on a golden platter, yet he left no stone unturned to ensure we have a set back of 3 decades. It seems like haji is a trojan horse or a sock puppet of west tasked to ensure unstable country…..

May Allah’s wrath be on enemies of my country

I think Pakistan should raise a new Army and Intelligence agency to protect Pakistan and fight the enemies as the current ones are busy with Politics, political engineering, spying on politicians, recording audio and videos, and then later blackmailing people, threatening people, abducting their own citizens, and then torturing them, focusing on business, and most importantly shaking hands with enemies and fighting with Patriotic Pakistanis.
Meanwhile, enemies of Pakistan are having picnics everywhere inside Pakistan.

The solution is very simple. We need to go on the offensive

1) Neutralize all sympathizers and anti-Pakistani elements in Pakistan - IK, PTI, Taliban, TTP, PTM all belong to the same flock.

2) Bomb Afghanistan's border and create 200 KM buffer zone like Turkiye did in Syria

3) Increase support to Kashmir, Khalistan and other freedom movements in India
