Banned TNSM chief says Taliban activities ‘un-Islamic’
Chief of the banned Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) has called for boycotting the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), terming its activities against Islam.
According to Sufi Mohammad’s will, the chief of the banned outfit said TTP has damaged Islam more than the ‘infidels’, saying that it lacks basic Islamic and humanistic values.
He wrote his will four days after the attack on Army Public School, which killed over 132 children, and issued special instructions to his followers and relatives to boycott all relations with the TTP.
Reports suggest that Sufi Muhammad repeatedly expressed his displeasure of TTP’s activities.
The TSNM chief wrote that TTP’s activities are against Islam and Sharia.
Earlier in February, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) indicted Muhammad in a sedition case.
The cleric, who is also father-in-law of Taliban chief Mullah Fazlullah, had delivered an anti-government speech at the Timergara Rest House, in Lower Dir district, in 2009. He had called the democratically elected government ‘un-Islamic’.
