Intelligence reports have revealed that TTP is planning attacks in the holy month of Muharram. This was decided in a secret meeting that took place in Mir Ali.
Muharram has a special significance for all the Muslims. Even before the dawn of Islam, this month was considered holy and bloodshed was not allowed. The TTP, who is faking a true image of Islam, are nowhere near the truth. On the contrary they are planning attacks on Imam Bargahs and processions. It is high time for those who directly or indirectly support fundamentalism and extremism in Pakistan to realize that Islam never calls for Jihad on Muslims, especially against those who mourn the death of one of the greatest leaders of Islam.
Considering the intelligence reports, all of us must play our part in the identification of those elements that somehow endanger the survival of our country.
