Facing dwindling support from India and Israel and increasingly successful operations by Pakistani security forces, the banned terrorist outfit, declared by the state as Fitna Al-Khawarij, is reportedly in a state of panic. Their growing desperation is evident in their recent propaganda efforts, where they attempt to mislead the tribal population by exploiting themes of nationalism, resource control, and displacement.
Security sources say the group’s new disinformation campaign is unlikely to succeed, as the tribal communities are fully aware of the Khawarij’s past atrocities. These are the same militants responsible for countless targeted killings of tribal elders and forcing entire communities to abandon their homes. The people have grown weary of carrying the coffins of their loved ones and living under constant threat.
Tribal residents, once displaced due to terrorist violence, remember how the Khawarij destroyed their sense of safety, turning mosques, madrassas, schools, markets, and even recreational spaces into targets. As a result, the militants’ attempts to manipulate public opinion are being met with rejection across the region.
Calls from the tribal population for a decisive operation against these militants are gaining momentum with each passing day. Observers say the militants now have only two choices: surrender, expose their foreign backers, and seek repentance, or face a grim end.
The complete eradication of Khawarij and other anti-state elements is not only a strategic necessity but a unified demand of the tribal people, the wider Pakistani nation, and a resolute decision of the state and its institutions.
