The Ulema Board of Pakistan Sunni Tehreek (PST) has formulated its recommendations in light of teachings of Holy Quran and Sunnah to deal with the rebellious Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). PST Media Co-ordinator Naeem Raza told Business Recorder here on Thursday that the party chief Muhammad Sarwat Ejaz Qadri will send these recommendations to the Prime Minister, Interior Ministry and the armed forces today (Friday) to apprise them of their responsibilities under the prevailing situation.
He said the Ulema Board has prepared these recommendations as the banned TTP has relentlessly announced to attack the armed forces and security agencies of the country which tantamount to rebellion in an Islamic State. He said after death of Hakimullah Mehsud the new ruthless Ameer of TTP Mullah Fazalullah has refused to hold talks with Pakistan Government. He has adamantly declared to wage war against the security forces, hit sensitive installations and target political leaders of the country.
The PST said that under these circumstances the Pakistani nation is worried and in a state of uncertainty. Therefore, the Federal Government and armed forces should take the nation in confidence and announce important decisions. The spokesman said PST denounced US drone attacks on innocent Pakistanis and called upon the international community to take notice of killings of thousands of unarmed and innocent Pakistani citizens including women and children. USA is violating Pakistan sovereignty and interfering in its internal affairs.
However, PST said no one should be allowed to kill innocent Pakistanis to take revenge of the USA drone attacks. Likewise the armed forces should not be held responsible for pro-USA policies of the government, he added. It may be recalled that PST has already declared the government's plans to hold peace talks with Taliban against Shariah, saying Islam doesn't allow pardoning any killers in personal capacity.
The scholars of the Barelvi Islamic school of thought said until bringing terrorists to justice, peace talks with Taliban shouldn't be held. They observed that digging out any reason for killing innocent persons is equivalent to making the mockery of the Shariah as Islam doesn't allow the unjustifiable killing of any human being on the basis of religion, caste, colour, or creed, adding those who are doing so are cruel and are guilty of being involved in Fasad Fil-Arz punishable by death.
