The untold saga of the dysfunctional government is going from bad to worse. In a recent development, Pakistan’s controversial Interior Minister Brigadier (retired) Ijaz Shah, known for his links with terrorist groups, has threatened opposition parties of attacks by the Taliban.
Whilst delivering a speech the ex-ISI spook Brigadier turned politician told the audience that,
At a recent ceremony at his hometown Nankana Sahib, the interior minister, had said the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan had, in reaction to the Awami National Party’s (ANP) policies on terrorism, attacked the party leadership and killed many of its leaders, including Bashir Bilour and the son of Mian Iftikhar.
“Today, I pray for the safety of those following the N-League’s narrative and wish for them to get divine’s guidance,” Brig Shah had stated, which went viral on social media—quoted by The Economic Times.
Shah, a former Pakistan Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) operator, is often criticised for policies and support for terrorists.
Khokhar said it was proved that former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was right when she named Shah as “one of her (possible) killers” before her assassination.
The former prime minister and PPP chairperson Bhutto had named Shah in a letter as someone who should be investigated if she was assassinated.
The links between the terror groups and the ruling Imran Khan government is nothing new. A few weeks ago, another gaffe unfolded the truth about Pakistan’s deep state involvement in the last year’s Pulwama attack in India.
The world must act to isolate Pakistan from these deep-state activities to unsettle regional peace. Pakistan is not only trying to meddle in India, it is deeply involved in unsettling the growth trajectory of Bangladesh and colluding with the Communist Regime in China to oppress the people of Balochistan and Afghanistan.
