Taliban denies PTI rally safe-passage surety reprots


KARACHI: Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman, Ahsanullah Ahsan Friday denied reports that the militant organization had assured a safe-passage for Paksitan Tehrik-e-Insaf’s “peace march” through their tribal stronghold, Geo News reported.
“Our men are too important give an escort to the likes of Imran Khan,” said Ahanullah.
According to TTP, he said, there were two kinds of politicians in Pakistan: Those who were in power and those were not.
“The ones in the power i.e. Peoples Party of Pakistan, Muttahida Qaumi Movement, and Awami National Party are anti-TTP, whereas the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf are not in the power but are secular and Westernophiles in their mentality”, Ahsanullah added.
He said that TTP would never come out for a Westernophile like Imran Khan.
“Secularists cannot win TTP’s sympathies”, the TTP spokesman said
He was categorical in saying that Imran Khan’s was in fact not coming to Waziristan to show solidarity for the victims of drone strikes.
“The agenda of PTI’s peace march is not what it claims to be. There is more what meets the eye in their case. It’s only a gimmick to gain political mileage”, Ashanullah said.
