The forces conspiring against Pakistan have taken a new and alarming turn. The gravest concern today is the emerging alliance between the Khawarij a radical extremist faction and India. Recently, a video surfaced featuring the Khawarij leader, Noor Wali Mehsud, in which he openly appeals for Indian assistance and portrays his group’s accords with Hindu overlords as a form of “jihad.”
This narrative is a blatant mockery of Islam’s core teachings. The Khawarij have distorted religious principles to justify their unholy alliance with India, presenting it as a “religious strategy.” This not only contradicts fundamental Islamic ideology but also poses a severe threat to Pakistan’s national security.
Pakistan’s security forces have launched effective operations against the Khawarij, significantly disrupting their networks. In response, Noor Wali Mehsud has instructed his followers to exercise extreme caution in using the internet and telecommunication channels, aiming to evade detection and continue their activities covertly.
However, the most troubling aspect remains that these extremists are receiving material and financial backing from India. The use of sophisticated Indian-made quad-copters in terrorist attacks across Pakistan is a stark indication that this group operates in line with Indian agendas. The Khawarij continue to perpetrate violent attacks in various regions of Pakistan, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, targeting innocent civilians, including women and children. In one such attack, the extremists employed quad-copters to strike defenceless children, a crime they tried to blame on Pakistan’s security forces. Yet, video evidence revealed the truth, exposing the Khawarij as the culprits.
India’s sponsorship of these terrorists aims not only to destabilise Pakistan but also to weaken Islamic forces. Indian agents are actively providing financial support to these militants to foment unrest and terrorism within Pakistan’s borders.
This raises a critical question: Which Islamic teachings do figures like Noor Wali Mehsud represent? To label alliances with Hindu rulers as “jihad” is a gross distortion of Islam. The Holy Quran clearly forbids Muslims from taking non-Muslims as allies or friends. Surah Al-Ma’idah states: “Whoever takes them as allies, then surely he is one of them.” How then can these Khawarij claim religious legitimacy when they forge alliances with non-believers?
Seeking help from Hindu masters and engaging in terrorism in Pakistan under their patronage is no act of jihad; it is a conspiracy that desecrates Islamic values. This betrayal not only undermines the faith but also deals a severe blow to the unity and morale of the Muslim Ummah. Justifying terrorism under Indian guidance is a violation of Islamic ethics.
It is now incumbent upon the Pakistani nation to recognize its enemies and resist falling prey to the deceitful propaganda of these Khawarij. They conspire not just against Pakistan but against Islam itself. By exploiting religion for personal gain, they have twisted Islam’s true message. Their violent acts, tactical maneuvers, and false narratives serve as a warning: their ultimate goal is to destroy the Islamic social order.
Every citizen has a duty to stand firmly alongside Pakistan’s security forces and expose these Khawarij. Safeguarding Pakistan’s security and preserving the true spirit of Islam is a collective responsibility. Defeating this dangerous alliance between the Khawarij and India must be a top priority to restore peace, stability, and the authentic teachings of Islam across Pakistan.
This alliance is not only a threat to Pakistan but also to the peace of the entire region. Their terrorist campaigns and exploitation of Islamic teachings remind us to remain vigilant against the schemes of our adversaries. Endorsing the Khawarij and supporting India’s agenda is a desecration of religion that must be confronted unitedly and resolutely.
