The militant group known as Fitnatul Khawarij, long operating under the guise of religion, has now fully exposed its criminal nature by openly engaging in extortion from Pakistani citizens, especially those associated with the mining and mineral sectors.
According to credible sources, contractors in the mining industry have received threatening letters from the group, demanding a five percent extortion fee on their operations. Despite sustained financial and logistical backing from their Indian handlers, the Khawarij militants have failed to gain public support and have now turned to coercion and criminal activity as their modus operandi.
The extortion demands include a fixed payment of Rs. 5,000 per truck transporting minerals. The letters warn contractors of severe consequences if the group’s demands are not met, placing the responsibility for any losses squarely on the business owners.
Security analysts describe this shift as a blatant admission of failure by the Khawarij, who have resorted to banditry and threats after their so-called religious narrative was widely rejected by the Pakistani populace. Once self-proclaimed guardians of Shariah, the group now resembles an organized criminal syndicate with no legitimacy, actively working against both Islam and Pakistan.
Analysts further assert that Fitnatul Khawarij has become a tool of foreign interests, particularly India, pursuing a destabilization agenda through violence, extortion, and fear. Their actions, including the martyrdom of innocent Pakistanis, expose their true intent: to harm the nation from within by looting its citizens and sabotaging its industries.
The growing criminal behavior of this outfit has reinforced public and institutional consensus that Fitnatul Khawarij represents not a religious movement but a foreign-backed menace that must be confronted with unity and resolve.
