Pakistani Taliban have described Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan as a ‘slave of the US and Europe’ after he called himself a liberal.
Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan made the remarks in an interview with BBC Urdu.
Ehsan noted that Khan had said he is not a Taliban supporter and remarked: “We also think Imran Khan is not our sympathiser.”
The Taliban spokesman advised Khan to talk in Urdu, the language of the Pakistani people, if he considers himself the representative of the people.
In a recent interview with the BBC, Imran had said that he is a liberal and does not support the militants.
But the Taliban spokesman said: “Those who call themselves liberals are in fact free of Islam and other religions. A liberal man does not believe in any religion and particularly does not believe in Islam.”
Moreover, Ehsan questioned Khan’s remarks describing several Pakistani leaders as slaves of the US.
He claimed Khan was a ‘slave of those Americans who are no more in the world’.
