CHARSADDA: Harkat vows to extend full support to Taliban

CHARSADDA, Dec 1: Addressing the “Shuhudai-Charsadda” conference here on Friday, the central leaders of Harkatul-Mujahideen vowed to extend every kind of support to Taliban in their Jihad against the infidels.

The conference was organized by the district chapter of the Harkat at Ghaziabad, Umerzai, to pay tribute to Mohammad Ishaq, who was killed along other members of the Harkatul-Mujahideen in Afghanistan on Sept 23.

Those who spoke on the occasion included the central leaders of Harkatul Mujahideen Ammar Mehdi, Abu Jandal, Umer Badshah and Fazle Karim.

The speakers said that youths like Ishaq were the cream of the Ummah and the Muslims of the world were very proud of them as they were invaluable assets. They said that the Taliban were fighting the war of Islam and, therefore, it was the duty of all the Muslims to support Taliban in this Jihad.

They said that the sacrifice of Ishaq and his other friends would always be remembered in the Islamic history. They said that the Taliban were on the retreat but they would emerge victorious in the end as they were on the right path.

Meanwhile, a big public meeting was also held at Farooq-i-Azam square here by the Pakistan Afghanistan Defence Council after the Friday prayers in support of the Taliban.

Prominent among the speakers were Maulana Ghulam Mohammad Sadiq and Maulana Gauhar Shah of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam. They criticized the government for joining the international coalition against Taliban, which they said were a perfect Islamic government in Afghanistan.

They said that the only fault of the Taliban which earned the wrath of America for them was the imposition of Islamic system in Afghanistan. They said that the Jihad in Afghanistan has proved that true Muslims could neither be bribed nor they could be cowed down by the military might.
