In recent times, the
celebration of attacks on CPEC projects and Chinese workers by militant groups,
citing them as ‘aggressors’, depicts the destructive intent of various
terrorist outfits. These attacks aim not only to halt Pakistan’s development
but also to defame the nation on regional and international platforms. Through
these attacks, these militants, who have contributed nothing to Pakistan’s
progress, and are only engaged in bombings and destruction, reveal their
insincerity towards the Pakistani people. Their opposition to development
projects in Balochistan, which are considered to be game changers for local
employment and progress, exposes their desire to keep these regions in
perpetual darkness. Supported by enemy states, these terrorists demonstrate
their disloyalty and hostility towards Pakistan. Their indiscriminate attacks
on civilian infrastructure show their intent to push the country further into
backwardness.
Driven by senseless violence,
terrorist groups like Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan even target those who are
notable members of peace committees, defying the Islamic principles of peace-making.
Their indiscriminate bomb blasts victimize innocent children. What
justification can these terrorists offer for harming children while claiming to
protect religion and impose Shariah? Their actions starkly reveal their
monstrosity and hypocrisy. Their attacks on Punjabi labourers are inhumane,
violating both ‘Islamic and Pakistani values. Similarly, the extremist rhetoric
and threats from these militant groups against minorities contravene Islamic
teachings and Pakistan’s Constitution.
These
terrorists also oppose democracy and the rule of law, preferring their own
authoritarian rule to silence any opposition to their inhumane acts. They
extort money from local vendors and small business owners, who already face
financial issues, showing their true nature as hypocritical criminals. They
expose their moral bankruptcy by resorting to theft, plundering and extortion
and boasting about it while knowing about its prohibition as articulated in the
Quran: “And do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly or send it
(in bribery) to the rulers in order that (they might aid) you (to) consume a
portion of the wealth of the people in sin, while you know (it is unlawful)
(Al-Baqarah: 188). Their self-proclaimed religious authority is exposed
when they threaten and kill Ulemas who speak against their atrocities. Abu
Darda reported: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The
scholars (Ulemas) are the inheritors of the Prophets. The Prophets do not leave
behind dinars or dirhams, but only knowledge; and he who acquires it, has in
fact acquired an abundant portion.” (Sunan Abi Dawood-3641) The
heinous acts of groups like Tehrik-i-
Taliban Pakistan and Daesh-Khorasan against Ulemas
show their blatant disregard for Islamic teachings on the sanctity of life and
respect for religious leaders.
These
terrorists threaten journalists who dare to expose their brutalities, showing
their fear of being held accountable. They spread lies and propaganda through
fake reports, revealing their reliance on deceit to further their nefarious
goals. The actions of these terrorists are not only criminal but also against
the fundamental principles of Islam. Similarly, the infighting among terrorist
organizations shows their true aim is not serving any Islamic interests but
self-serving agendas. Their conflicts reveal that their so-called jihad against
security forces is merely a competitive business project for them.
To
conclude, it is evident that these groups are nothing but a bunch of criminals,
thugs and murderers, violating the honour and values of our nation and
religion. It is time to expose their hypocrisy and unite against their
destructive agenda and propaganda to ensure peace and progress in our country.
