Afghan Taliban commander warns terrorists against fighting Pak forces

RAWALPINDI: In a major development, commander of Afghan Taliban, Saeedullah Saeed, has warned terrorists of Fitna Al Khwarij against fighting the Pakistan forces, conducting attacks in the name of Jehad.

Addressing a passing-out parade of police officials, the commander of Afghan Taliban said as per their Ameer’s directives, it was not legitimate to fight against any country, particularly Pakistan.

“Those who fight against foreign countries while joining different groups, cannot be called a real Mujahid,” the leader of the Afghan Taliban maintained.

Saeedullah Saeed also made it clear that it was the prerogative of Ameer of the state to announce Jehad or grant permission for Jehad. “It is not discretion of any individual or a group to decide about waging Jehad,” he said.

He also categorically stated that it amounts to disobedience if anybody, while acting against directives of leadership of the state, decides to visit Pakistan for fighting. “It will be considered ‘Fasad’ not ‘Jehad’ if anybody fights for the sake of ego or on the basis of association with any group,” he said.

Commander Saeedullah also maintained those who conduct attacks in the name of ‘Jehad’, the same individual or group are disobedient of Shariat and Afghan Emirate.

Defence experts say that the statement of Afghan Taliban commander strengthens Pakistan narrative regarding internal security. They observed that so-called ‘Jehad’ of Fitna Al Khwarij at the behest of Indian proxies and Indian government is terrorism against Shariat, state and peace.
