Imran Khan tells Pak govt to pull out of US-led war on terror

Lahore, Dec 14 (PTI) Crickter-turned-politician Imran Khan today expressed happiness at reports that the Pakistan government was holding talks with the Taliban, saying the time had come for the country to pull out of the US-led war on terrorism.

"I was very happy to hear that now talks are being held with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan. This is what I was saying for seven years and they realised it now after 40,000 people have been killed," he told a news conference here.

Pakistan must pull out of the war on terrorism and change its strategy and tell the US that the campaign was not beneficial for both countries, he said in response to a question about the steps taken by Pakistan after a cross-border NATO attack killed 24 soldiers last month.

"It is time for negotiations...There is no terrorism now because we are talking to them, because there is dialogue between the army and the Taliban. As soon as we carry out operations, terrorism will resume," he said.

He said the government''s decision to NATO supply routes in retaliation for the air strike was like treating "cancer with Disprin".

He added: "The real cancer is we are stuck in somebody else�s war. We are headed towards destruction, and we must get out of this war."
"This war cannot be won with the military. Get out of the war and true friendship with the US means helping them get out of Afghanistan and finding a political settlement," said Khan, the head of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf party.

In a separate development, the government of Sindh province today reversed its earlier decision barring Khan from holding a rally in Karachi on December 25.

The provincial government had earlier asked Khan to call off the rally due to security concerns.

The minority Christian community too had asked Khan to defer his rally as it would coincide with Christmas.

Khan told the news conference that he had decided to hold the rally at Jinnah''s mausoleum in Karachi on December 25 to commemorate the birth anniversary of the founder of Pakistan.

"We are going to Karachi in the service of Pakistan, do not stop us. To stop us will cause a lot of harm, this is a flood of the people," he said.

Pakistan’s pro-establishment media, journalists, pundits and spin doctors are relentlessly trying to usher in a possible new alternative to the current traditional political class of the country- led by PPP and PML (N). A day hardly passes by when one does not see pressers, articles and talk shows eulogising the upsurge in the political fortunes of Imran Khan.
Now the feudals, the Gadaanasheens and the turncoats have lined up to join Imran Khan’s bandwagon, of course with the consent of their “masters”. The powerful PR machine of Imran Khan only reinforces one message: Imran Khan is going to win the next election.
If indeed Imran Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf comes to power with the acquiescence of the establishment, this begs the obvious question: What does the future hold for Khyber Pashtunkhwa and FATA and perhaps for Afghanistan and world at large.
Though, it remains to be seen whether the elections are held in 2013 or much earlier, the question no less important is what will happen if Imran rides the euphoria created by the above circles in Punjab-the traditional hegemonic power base- and comes to power.
One possible scenario is the that Imran Khan wins in Khyber Pashtunkhwa and clinches seats in FATA, so that he can form a government in the province. It is not a mere theoretical possibility. Let us start with FATA. FATA’s 12 seats in National Assembly and 8 in Senate can easily be delivered to Imran Khan as FATA is directly run by the GHQ. Thus arm twisting, bribing and manipulating of people in FATA are time tested tactics of the establishment to favour its blue- eyed elements to grab seats in Pakistan’s parliament.
Like other parts of Pakistan, in Khyber Pashtunkhwa too, there is a targeted campaign going on to focus on the usual turncoats, the so-called winnable candidates, and the establishment’s old guard including the likes of Masood Sharif Khattak and Rustum Shah Momand to barter loyalties for Imran Khan. Besides, sensing the possible success of Imran Khan in elections, such elements will likely easily gravitate to Mr Khan. If everything fails, the favourite method of the establishment i.e., rigging elections in Imran Khan’s favour, is never out of its arsenal.
The 2002 elections that led to MMA Government were rigged with the premise to show the world, particularly the US, that Pashtuns were angry after the US invasion of Afghanistan. Now that the US and Islamabad relations have reached new lows, it would make more sense to show engineered “anti-American feelings” expressed in possible Imran Khan electoral victory in the country’s strategic north Western region including Khyber Pashtunkhwa and FATA.
Such an eventuality would have far reaching consequences for the peace of the province, stability of Afghanistan and security of the world.
We already know that Imran Khan preaches the virtue of dialogue with militants and is in cohort with ideological god fathers of Pakistan’s establishment i.e., Mirza Aslam Baig and Hameed Gul that proxy militants operating in FATA are by their nature “Pashtun resistance” to NATO invasion of Afghanistan and that Pakistan should “disengage” from the US “War on Terror”.
Simply translated, Islamabad should stop containing these militants particularly the TTP since Pakistan is already in peace with “good” militants fighting the NATO forces in Afghanistan while at best tolerating the Al Qaeda and its linked-outfits’ presence in FATA. Recent reports that militants are in exploratory talks with the government are part of this thinking.
Unfortunately, Imran’s proposition regarding militancy in Pashtun areas if implemented in letter and spirit, may lead to these possible outcomes: first, the militants will likely to take over the whole of FATA. Second, FATA will become a defacto Taliban Emirate extending from Bajaur in the north to South Waziristan in the south (they have already established courts, police and kind of administrative shooras) further consolidating stranglehold around Pashtuns as any possible Imran-led governments in centre and province will simply turn a blind eye towards them.
The by-product of Imran Khan’s Taliban-appeasement policy will spur militants to concentrate more on Afghanistan. The TTP’s one time leader Baiutullah Masood alone sent nearly 250 groups of fighters to Helmand to fight NATO forces in Afghanistan in 2006 (Source: Inside Al Qaeda and the Taliban: Beyond Bin Laden and 9/11 by Saleem Shahzad -Pluto Press 2011). In such a scenario, the proxy Taliban-led insurgency in Afghanistan will greatly help Pakistan’s establishment realise its strategic objective: keep pressurising Afghan government until at least it surrenders part of its foreign and domestic policy to the dictates of Islamabad-at times when the west is about to draw down its troops. .
Giving further “strategic depth” to the TTP and other militants through dialogue and accommodation at highest political level by Pakistan, the TTP will likely gain time to regroup, rearm and hence re-launch itself. These militants camouflaging Al Qaeda, will likely translate FATA into latter’s mythological state of “Khurrasan” paving way for much larger possible plots against not only Afghanistan but the rest of the world. Al Qaeda may never shrink from its agenda of launching more transatlantic attacks. In case of such attack(s), footprints will sure be traced back to FATA spelling tsunami for Pashtuns in particular.
Supposedly, the infamous “Taliban” Khan forms a government in Khyber Pashtunkwha, it will have wider consequences for the province as well: since he believes that the Taliban are the Pashtun “resistance”, his possible government will simply acquiesce to their moving in to the settled districts of Khyber Pashunkhwa adjacent to FATA.
Unlike the ANP-led current government, it will not attempt to contain them to FATA region. The obscurantist agenda of the militants will simply turn the Pashtun clock back to medieval times. For they (militants) wrapped in Wahhabi ideology, are against education, Pashtun culture, Pashtun code of life (the Pashtunwali) and Pashtun heroes and music. This is going to be a nightmarish scenario for Pashtuns in the province as they are already the victim of Pakistan’s “Strategic Depth policy” in Afghanistan.
Khyber Pashtunkhwa being next to FATA and thus Afghanistan has more nuisance value as well: the establishment would love to have a more pliant government at the helms that has no problem with strategic proxy assets of Islamabad in FATA and Khyber Pashtunkhwa. Whereas the ANP has taken a clear stand against terrorists and opposed both external and internal violation of country’s sovereignty. The ANP-led government has successfully fought the war against militants and sustained public opinion against these militants.
Following the 18 Amendment, concurrent list has been abolished and subjects transferred to provinces, including education. The ANP-led government in Khyber Pashtunkhwa has started slowly altering the social agenda by introducing Pashtu subject in schools and introducing other reforms. As the establishment has always been wary of “irredentist credentials” of Pashtun nationalists, the possible Imran Khan electoral victory could easily put a stop to the ANP-led new social agenda for Pashtuns.
This is the time, the ANP in particular takes the electoral threat of Imran Khan seriously and devises a strategy to counter his possible gains in Khyber Pashtunkhwa.
The new generation of Pashtuns who have access to social media and the Internet are more impressionable and easily succumb to the appeal of propaganda PR machine of Imran Khan. A clear strategy needs to be devised aimed at this particular group.
Secondly, the ANP needs to enter into electoral alliances and seat to seat adjustments with other like-minded political parties including PKMAP, PPP and PML (N), and for any possible exploratory talks, this could be the right time. For containing the imminent danger of the new form of establishment’s erstwhile MMA i.e., Imran Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf, the Pashtun leadership needs not to sacrifice the interest of the Pashtuns at the altar of any false ego.
The Pashtun civil society should clearly articulate the case against voting Imran Khan in the next elections. This is their moment of truth to counter the thin layer of lies and falsehood hyped by Pakistan’s parochial-media houses in Lahore and Karachi, surrounding the establishment’s new “stooge”-Imran Khan.
The message going out to Pashtuns cannot be starker and sterner than this: a hero and saviour for Punjab may spell disaster for Pashtuns.

Ghundal according to Taliban version of Shariat, Imran should be

1)lashed for Zina with sita white
2)his ex wife stoned for adultery with Huge Grant
3)his ex wife sentenced to death for apostasy

While Imran Khan proposed support for Swat Taliban Sharia, his ex adulsteress and apostate wife was campaigning in Islamic republic of Pakistan for his access to Power.

Imran Khan is a hypocrite, typical Punjabi establishmetn spokesman who twists peoples emotions in favor of a Taliban ISI take over of Kabul and the rest of Afghanistan.

Imran Khan is a talib during the day and a playboy at night










While Pashtun children in Swat were rocking back and fourth to Taliban litrature and forced suicide bombing training, Imran Khan's own children enjoy a more peaceful secular lifestyle





Talib Khan with Qazi Hussain the Mullah who funded and aided the Taliban govt in Afghanistan





Qazi Hussain with the man who introduced child suicide bombing to Afghanistan.

These photos sums up who Imran Khan truely is, another ISI stooge who wants to turn the Pashtun region into a militant infested hell hole while he lives a totally different lifestyle for his own Punjabis and children.

Imran Khan also has some notable racial theories:



I think this is because Pakjabis are notoriously insecure about their identity. Unlike Pashtuns who have a clear identity and heritage, the Pakjabis don't know where they belong to. They are always afraid of being associated with their Indian forefathers, so they go out of their way to act "extra Muslim", and go out of their way to dissociate themselves from their ancestry. This is due to the deep anxiety that Pakjabis have inside themselves. It is the Pakjabi predicament - they hate being reminded of their real ancestry, and choose to be in denial of it.

Imran Khan, who is a product of Punjabification, demonstrates this in his own speech and personal views, which are tailored to the psyche Pakjabi audiences, who then noisily applaud him.

Imran Khan is desparate for power thats all. He is a walking hypocrite.

The truth is no one cares about his personal life. Its wha he has promised to do

Putting an end to PaK support for US war and occupation of Afghanistan.

What I'm so confused about is why are do so called Anti-pakistan pretenders want Pakistan to continue to support the US war?


How come you are currently pro-Pakistan then?

If you support Pallkistan support for the US war (supply
Routes and air bases) then what does that make you aside from
Pro war?

LOOOOL Why are you so author these days, posting like a chicken with its head cut off, frantically worried about Imran Khan?

Do you know why I am laughing? Its because Ghundal is playing by your rules. Its you that demanded secular democratic elections, and H Mehsud and Mullah Omar are not on the ballot or else missiles will find them... so these are your rules.

You brought Imran Khan to the game my friend. By your playbook, whehter Imran dances naked at night with monkeys and then puts lipstick on during the day and plays the harmonica... per your fervent defences of Miss Andersen and the electorate system you propose (which I find interesting since your favored system had a politburo... not an elected group of people), this is the game that is being played.

So dont chide Manzarah and Ghundal for the fact that they are now playing by the rules you set... they are just beating you with your own playbook!

If its an issue that the military complex owns the whole government, which could be your response, then my response is that it is then, not your concern if they vote for another face of the same system.

Then your obligation becomes what Bugti's was... which was to strap on, get up, and take care of business and go deal with the Pakistani state. Just dont use American lives to do so.

unless you are advocating that they vote PMAP and ANP instead. The issue there is that ANPiites themselves are crossing into his camp.
