I
was the first one three years back who had made the presence of Daesh in
Pakistan known when I disclosed the meetings in a mosque in Daska, Sialkot and
thereafter the rest of the network in south Punjab to KPK and FATA.
The then government of PMLN went into denial mode and issued official denial claiming that there were no traces of Daesh in Pakistan. However, the Nation witnessed the banners of Daesh in Islamabad and Karachi.
The
claim of Khalid Khorasani, being the head of Daesh Pakistan regarding the
presence of Daesh in Pakistan should have been an eye-opener for the then
government, which rather than facing the reality chose to brush it aside for
political reasons. Khalid Balti, alias Muhammad Khorasani, a Taliban commander
from Gilgit Baltistan was the new spokesperson of TTP. Khorasani, who is in his
early 30s, received his education from madrassas in Karachi. He is considered a
learned cleric and was a teacher at Jamiat-ul-Rasheed in Karachi. Having a vast
experience in media and publication, he was also part of Umer Media team of the
TTP. In addition, Khorassani is associated with some other madrassas in Karachi
for educational and teaching purposes. He is currently in Afghanistan along
with newly TTP head Mufti Wali and Ikram Ullah, second suicide bomber escaped
from Liaquat Bagh blast scene on the day of Shahadat of Mohtarma Benazir
Bhutto.
He
is the same Khalid Khorasani who was right hand man of Hakeem Ullah Mahsud. The
current acts of terrorism are being planned and engineered from Afghanistan and
the Daesh trained terrorists are being used by them.
The
geo-location of Khalid Khorasani has been reported as at Kunar in Afghanistan.
An American journalist was seriously injured when she had traced the location
of Ikram Ullah and Fazal Ullah. She met me with her local Pakistani based
assistant few weeks’ back and she narrated the whole episode.
There
is a big question in the minds of public as to why Daesh is once again so active
in KPK and Balochistan? Here is my humble analysis based on available evidence,
which I made public vide my press conference dated 23 Aug 2017 wherein I had
made public the anti-Pakistan plan to create wedge within KPK and FATA by
creating groups and this was propagated through a specially launched radio
station which was shut by Pak Intel. Similarly under the same plan the anti Pak
groups were reenergised and activated. We witnessed more training camps of
Diesh in Afghanistan and more terroristic activities engineered from
Afghanistan
This
anti-Pak plan was exposed by a prominent USA analyst while being interviewed by
a known Russian TV which is part of international media record.
This
shows that there is a greater agenda of the West to attempt to disintegrate our
country and the nation witnessed unprecedented moves against the federation and
especially the Army which were fully backed by newly established radio station
and hype in the International media to discredit Pakistan to portray it as a
failed state. Briefly speaking, the Daesh is following the Indian RAW agenda/
RSS under PM Modi duly supported by Afghanistan. This sensitive timeline, while
Pakistan is going through elections, has been chosen by anti-Pakistan designers
to move their agenda of destabilising the country particularly KPK &
Balochistan. Unfortunately, certain political quarters in Balochistan gave some
importance to these anti-Pakistan moves, which was quite upsetting, as they did
not foresee the consequences for the country. After the arrest of RAW agent
Kulbhushan Yadev there is no doubt left as to how India is involved in
destabilising Pakistan.
The
Daesh through Indian agents is busy to implement two-point agenda in the
country; one is to create scare before election by maximising terrorism during
the election and secondly creating unrest in these two provinces to continue to
follow the anti-Pakistan agenda to destabilise Pakistan through KPK and
Balochistan. The sensitive timeline vis-à-vis Pakistan has been chosen by
Daesh-RAW nexus to carry out terrorist activities when the country was going
through general elections and the government was fully concentrating on
ensuring peaceful and fair elections in the country.
I
had forewarned the nation last month that Daesh and anti-Pak designers would
try to take the full advantage of pre-election period and the day of election.
My fears are turning true when KPK and Balochistan experienced three terrorist
attacks in three days claiming the lives of hundreds of innocent people
including two known political figures during their election meetings. The
federal as well as the provincial governments are required to take SOS steps to
counter this anti-Pakistan agenda.
Is
it not an eye opener that when Nawaz Sharif decides to return to Pakistan on 12th
July, the Daesh selects the same day to use suicide bombers to create fear and
to kill two renowned leaders one form KPK and one from Balochistan. See the
links of these two happenings on the same day.
It
looks as if the agenda of Daesh is not going to finish here but would continue
throughout election period. My assessment is further endorsed by recent threats
issued by NACTA. Unlike the last elections when Taliban decided to attack only
PPP sparing PML/N and PTI, these threats alerts have been issued to the
leadership of all the major political parties including PML/N and PTI, which
are too serious to ignore. These indicate that none is safe now from the
terrorist attacks by Daesh. In 2013 elections, Taliban had made PPP the sole
target of its attacks by providing PML/N safe heaven and it made friendly
announcements in favour of both PML/N and PTI. Although the terrorists have
threatened all political parties yet all the religion-political parties have
been spared minus JUI, as the rally of Mr. Akram Durrani was attacked. All
political leadership/ head of the political parties need not to be over
confident and do not provide chance to enemy to hit our national leaders.
It
is strange for me to see that while Chairman PPP is being blocked and denied
the rights of holding public meetings, the leaders of other political parties
are being facilitated without any restrictions to continue with their schedule
of holding public meetings at their chosen places. The government needs to
analyse if the threats are for a particular political party and individual. It
looks as if Daesh have selective targets on its list. There should be no doubt
left in the minds of the government and the security agencies regarding
presence of Daesh in Pakistan but what it needs to work on should have been to
dig into its real intentions. Is its agenda individual or party based for
carrying out terrorist attacks?
I hope that the Government and the agencies take the following steps immediatelyTo ask Afghan Government to hand over Khalid Khorasani back to Pakistan for killing innocent Pakistanis, as well as for his claiming responsibility of latest two terrorist attacks.A national level conference on security may be summoned immediately by the PM comprising ofall political parties/ defence forces / Home Secretaries / all intelligence agencies. Let there be united and collective response to the enemies of Pakistan.
To
revisit the national action plan and its effective implementation.
The
trend of recent wave of terrorism looks to be preamble of some more tragedies
planned by Daesh before election. Where is the government/PM to give wake up
and shake up calls to the provincial governments to take SOS measures to halt
this wave of terror?
I
pray for safe Pakistan and may there be no further tragedy in our country.
Ameen
