Imran Khan slave of the US, Europe: Pakistani Taliban

The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have said that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan is a slave of the United States (US) and Europe because he labels himself a liberal, a BBC Urdu report stated.
Speaking to BBC Urdu, TTP spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan said that “liberal” was an English word, and that if Khan thinks he is a representative of the people, he should talk in the language of Pakistanis, which is Urdu.
The TTP spokesman said that Khan was not a supporter of the Taliban and neither were they his sympathisers.
Ahsan said that the word liberal defined someone who “thinks they are from all religions, including Islam. A liberal person does not believe in any religion, and also do not believe in Islam and tauheed.”
He said that Khan had termed some Pakistan leaders ‘slaves of America’ and said that he wanted to inform Khan that he was the “slave of those Americans who are no longer in this world.”
In an interview with The Express Tribune in May, the PTI chief had said he was “often made out to be the naughty boy who supports the Taliban.”
Khan had clarified that his ideology had always been to conduct dialogue with militants and not to support terrorism.
“Terrorism in Pakistan is a reaction to drone strikes and military operations; suicide bombings are a tool of the weak used to attack oppressors,” he had said.
He had admitted that it was this stance that earned him the notorious title of “Taliban Khan” and that he was aware that “America-loving poodles” label him “the naughty boy who supports the Taliban.”

Nonsense from Taliban, to say the least

I am astonished at the IQ level of this Ahsanullah Ahsan guy. He probably doesn’t know a word of English and here he is, making up his own definition and lecture of “liberal”. More astonishing is how these illiterate goons get press/media attention.
Forget English or Urdu. The only language TTP thugs understand is the language of guns, bombs and warfare.

Let’s take this news positively rather than looking on the cons. side: At least it may temporarily shut down those desperate people who keep calling him pro-Taliban.
With political heavyweights such as Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Allama Iqbal family joining the ranks of PTI, critics can no longer call it a one man show or a Taliban right wing party. The days ahead will be good for PTI,
My only message to Talibans and anti-PTI secular/left wing propagandists: Go screw yourself. No body is going to stop the PTI tsunami!

He must be real threat to US and EU that’s why talking against him ; ) who funds these taliban? same US and Europe! to Pakistan Army US says Do operation against them and provide these militants group weapons to engage army and bring a civil war like situation! Wake up! Imran khan has said he is going to pull out the army from all tribal areas and will engage tribal elders to single out these taliban and then crush them. That’s why he is pro US and EU.
There is a huge investment being poured in print n electronic media just to stop this change in Pakistan….this same media used to call him “taliban khan” now there is a 180 degree shift “american slave” …dnt worry ALLAH is the best planner.
No one gives a damn about what criminals like taliban have to say, they are just petrified by the fact that imran khan winning will be a blow to them since he’d actually bring a sincere gonvernment (inshallah) instead of ppp, run by criminals just like taliban and commit to loosen the hold of taliban over the terror they have been spreading across.Recommend
Crazy Taliban….
Recommend
Is it hypocrisy or fantasy? it is hard to say. But having this said it is such bigotry through which a band of bearded illiterates high jack a peaceful religion such as Islam. May i ask TTP to explain a bit of their medium of communication. If Imran Khan can be deemed a stooge of America merely because he speaks english then these monsters who communicate in anything but urdu should be declared stooges of RAW. It is such brazen statements that they use to justify using boys for bombs and cars for missiles. Ironic as it is to learn of agents from those who themselves are acting against Pakistan.

Right, so the Taliban clearly dont wont to negotiate. They continue to wage war on us, kidnappings, assasinations, bombings continue. So can we go after them now? Or is it more important not to look like we are doing what America wants than to protect Pakistan and the citzens of the country?

We have seen many allegations and propaganda against Imran Khan and this is just an addition. If the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) say they are on Islam then whats the point in killing innocent people in Pakistan. If they have real sympathy for the killings in drone strikes then they should better be targeting the US coalition and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Coming back to the point this baseless arguments cant dim the light of change that Imran Khan has ignited.
Keep up the good Imran Khan nation is with you.

seems like imran khan asked ttp to say this!
Recommend
Really? TTP, you have skewered perception of life. If being a liberal connotes being non-Muslim, surely killing innocent thousands, injuring a multitude more and hijacking a religion makes you a a dutiful servant of Islam.
Do not judge others, when all sensibilities and facts indicate that you yourself are not only a product of American policy, but are a shame to our religion, country and humanity as a whole.Recommend
It is not funny. it is all planned by people who are playing Imran.
Only few days ago people saw imran khan first time saying Talibans are bad.
And yesterday Talibans reacted in this way.
It is all goes in Fav. of imran khan.
Imran and taliban’s statements are infact direcet to USA and west. It to make USA believe that imran is anti taliban and will fight the war on terrorism in pakistan
For pti lovers:
Tsunami comes for a short time but it take years to repaired the damages caused by it.

Their are two types of people who are against Imran Khan.. Conservatives like Taliban and other religious fanatics in the country (mostly illiterate people) who oppose him because they think that Imran is a “liberal”.. The other are a handful of highly educated people liberals (highly skeptical, habitual of stereotyping and having trust issues with everyone in politics) who end up labeling him as “conservative” and refer to his party as “good looking jamaat e islami”.. What an irony..

“Terrorism in Pakistan is a REACTION to drone strikes and military operations.”

Drone strikes and FAKE military ops were a reaction to terrorism.
Anyway, it shows that Imran is confused. Take a(one) stand, Imran!

LOLZ! So he sticks his hand out in friendship and they take a dump on it.

This is what is known as Pre-emptive strike.
Everyone knows that Imran Khan wears his ‘anti-US badge’ proudly and that he is also a supporter of Taliban.
And Taliban wants Imran Khan’s support but wants it secretly so that Imran is not judged or tainted guilty by association. It can help the political career of Imran by implying that both of them don’t have any affiliations.
Taliban wants people to think: “Look, Taliban would not have said this if supports them. They are saying this because, Imran is a biggest critic of Taliban.”
Judging from the reactions above, I feel the tactic is going to be hugely successful.
Recommend
When the same TTP say that they have nothing to do with CIA/RAW/Mossad then nobody believes them.
Recommend
No language other than Pakistani language URDU or the Islamic language ARABIC is acceptable to TTP. Therefore all TTP members are requested to only communicate in one of these language. Pushto also unacceptable.
Recommend
I guess Nawaz’s group is feeling that rope tightening around their necks. First they messed up their deep state connections and now they tell Ahsan to make calls from Raiwind to scare kaaptan. Stop sponsoring anti-state actors, even if most of them are your constituents. Kaaptan has Omar’s blessing, these wouldn’t scare him much.Recommend
That is what Imran Khan is constantly reprimanded by sane writers about these militants that they cannot be friends with any one. Imran Khan need to join hands with other political parties like that of ANP and PPP to eradicate this menace once and for all and denounce Dehshat Gardi and Suicide Blasts of these fanatics to free the people of Pakistan from their miss-interpreted version of Islam.

TTP- Learn English or hire translator as long as Islam is concern there is nothing Islamic about TTP . bunch of people with only skill of terrorism and killing humans on the name of whatever they find. these groups are Terror Mafia.Recommend
Talabans are the slaves of inhumanity and savagery.Recommend
Its not important what Taliban say about Imran. Their statements are not confirmed and no one knows who is who in Taliban ranks. Their actions speak louder than their words. More important is what Imran says about Taliban. If he calls them Barbarians, terrorists and killers of innocent people and calls their ideology and way of life in contradiction to Islam, then I am with Imran Khan. Otherwise its a useless statement to please Imran’s supporters.

This may be a trick of Imran Khan! because grooming and training department at the back of him has taught him how to climb a political fence now.He has learnt a solo swimming atleast in his home pool. He has been facing an allegation of being inclined to Taliban and this was tarnishing his iamage as an “acceptable to all politician”, the talbani label might stop him to gain sympathy from many of the educated people, and it seems he has approached to this guy for help to save him from the attack. TTP now will play a role of “dhobi” and wash all of his dirt. A deal is a deal. dont take their ” nok jhonk” seriously. Wait and see.

There is no such thing as TTP its all CIA. It’s really proved why would TTP have any reason to say anything about Imran Khan when it has never said anything about him in the past. All of a sudden after a successful rally US wants to regain its control by manipulating peoples opinion of Imran Khan so he cannot gain power and on the other hand this news tries to get Imran Khan to be tough on Taliban (if People still choose to elect him) because he should be concerned Taliban considers him liberal and non – urdu speaking whatever all this Good for nothing Terrorist had to say

What Taleban are stating is neither funny nor with any sense of humour. People of Pakistan must realise that TTP has a set agenda to enforce sharia and are dreaming to rule the country one day. However, IK increasing popularity for the last three months dawned to TTP that their anti-American agenda has been successfully used by him who is tipped to be the next PM of Pakistan which is too close to their comfort and posing as a major hurdle to their grand plans for the future. No wonder TTP has taken an anti-IK stand branding him as liberal, un-Islamic and pro-West. I seriously apprehend that Imran Khan’s life is in danger now.
Recommend
Everyone trying to claim there’s some intelligence agency conspiracy that created and supports TTP are just digging their own graves. If you don’t come back to reality, you’re just making it easier for them to blindside you. Though feel free to keep it up. Just try to make it out alive since it’s not as much fun to say “I told you so” to a corpse.

who came first; the terrorists or the drone attacks?
Recommend
One will continue to be Kharjite extremist criminals who’ll never hesitate to to invoke Takfir on every little offence or pre-text and commit murder and terrorism. They will give us one of the most blunt observations as well as the most absurd contradictory and hypocritical delusions.
The other will continue to make excuses for their criminality and extremism, deflecting the blame on ‘foreign hands’ (or other conspiracy nuttery or excuse,like drones – which actually came much later, or suicide bombing is the weak fighting the oppressors…apparently Shia, Qadiyani, Barelvi places of worship were oppressing the ‘weak Taliban’) because they find it hard to accept reality and condemn the Kharjite terrorists because of their ‘Muslim-ness aura’ despite all the un-Islamic evidence. They will pander to our conservatism and try to convince us of implementing religious values, which would trump all the free behaviours they currently indulge in themselves.Recommend
@Rizwan:
Islam is surrounded by enemies .Taliban are in Pakistan and Afghanistan , but what about those who are among us and unrecognizeable , you can observe their poisonous comments that directly hit Islam,its rules and muslims and I think no enemy is more dangerous than “munafiqeen”.who are within us, many are abroad.
Recommend
@Soho:
Exactly…the drone strikes came much later. I’m not in favour of them, but they were done once Pakistan refused to take actions themselves…then the Pak military had the gall to ask the States to give them the technology so they could conduct the attacks themselves!
Imran Khan also lied about tribal leaders claiming they would take care of the Taliban issue themselves.
The Turi tribe had begged the Pak government and military a numerous times to help them out. Instead the military sabotaged them in their anti-Taliban fight, by strangling their routes and forced them to negotiate with the Taliban to open up an access route to Afghanistan in Kurram agency! You know…for Haqqani Sahib! Can you imagine that?!Recommend
It’s apparent that neither the American’s nor Taliban are going to dance to Khan’s tune — that leaves corruption as Khans last viable promise. If Khan gets into office you may discover what American’s felt like after Obama was elected — lots of promise quickly turning into bitter disappointment.

“….; suicide bombings are a tool of the weak used to attack oppressors,” he had said.
A stupid irresponsible inhumane, un-Islamic statement that again is pandering, excusing and sympathizing with extremist criminals and Kharjite terrorists.
Jihad, which permits ethical warfare, allows the weak to fight back their oppressors, hence rebellion and Mujahideen. However, it does not allow for aggression or illegal war crimes, not just against civilians but also in conduct against the enemy as well.
Imran Khan just justified terrorism against civilians as such…not only is this un-Islamic, inhumane, unethical and immoral, it is also illegal according to Pak and international law.
How is bombing civilian markets, Masjids, ethnic/religious/sectarian minorities, Imambargahs, religious processions, political rallies, schools, girls’ schools, homes of security officials, bus bombings, graveyard bombings, hospital bombings, shooting up massacres, targeted killings of teachers, kidnappings, attack on Sri Lankan cricket players, university bombing, etc a tool of the weak used to attack oppressors?!
A true rebel or Mujahid would specifically target only security and government if there was real grievance. But, yet those innocent civilian soft targets mentioned earlier are the most common type of attacks…don’t forget many times some of the poor suicide attackers are themselves brainwashed, forcefully kidnapped or drugged by their own twisted relatives, especially in the case of female suicide bombers.Recommend
This issue has brought into stark attention the following problem: English-educated people cannot speak the language of the majority of the people of Pakistan. It not that they don’t want to, it is just that they can’t because they are alienated from their own culture and religion. They neither have full command on English nor are are able to communicate in Urdu. Their understanding of their own religion is shallow, their point of reference are western terms and history. Taliban spokesperson is correct in saying that even through Imran is not a poodle of the West, he is deeply influenced by it. Pakistan needs a better version of Ahmedinejad of Iran, a man who deeply rooted in his culture and religion and thus his confidence when dealing with West. We need someone like Khomeni who will give a sense of dignity and identity to the majority of its nation. Otherwise like India we will continue to deeply insecure people and that is a real turn off.

Dont pin up too much hope on Mr. Imran Khan.

The statement of the TTP spokesperson comes as no surprise. What I find astonishing is the PTI Chief’s statement that “suicide bombings are a tool of the weak used to attack oppressors”. Which “oppressors”, may one ask, is Mr. Khan referring to when schools, mosques, shrines and public offices are being attacked by suicide bombers? Is he referring to the innocent citizens of this country including the minorities our constitution pledges to protect? What dialogue could one possibly have with people who see no reason-one need not look beyond the contents of this news report itself. Terrorism is not a reaction to drone attacks or military operations. The poor victims of such heinous acts are not its perpetrators..

Imran Khan in keeping with the interests of his establishment backers is asking questions only about the PPP politician’s assets. But he chooses to not share any information on:
1. His own assets which he has not declared.
2. Assets of his own party members and supporters.
3. Source of funding for his party.
4. Accounts of how his party is spending the funds he is raising.
5. Assets of PML-Q and JUI politicians.
Also, why is he accepting large amounts of money from foreign sources for his party which cannot be traced? In his manifesto, Imran says that Pakistan should be free of dependence on foreign aid. But his own party is accepting foreign funds from unknown sources and is unwilling to identify the source of these funds. Imran’s actions do not match his words.
