| GEO Pakistan | | Activities within Pakistan led to differences with Baitullah Meshsud: Qari Zain | Updated at: 2214 PST, Wednesday, June 17, 2009
MIRANSHAH: Qari Zainuddin Mehsud has said that the agreement with the government is still intact.
In an exclusive interview with Geo News, Qari Zainuddin said: “Islam does not allow carrying out activities within Pakistan and this is the main cause that led to the difference with Baitullah Mehsud.”
He said scholars like Maulana Hasan Jan declared suicide attacks as un-Islamic. The declaration led to the killing of Maulan Hasan, he added.
“Islam cannot spread with the use of force but with invitation,” Qari Zain observed.
He said one should think as to why the people who train suicide attackers not sacrifice their loved ones for the purpose. Baitullah Mehsud is ‘zalim’ (cruel) and responsible for all the destruction, he added.
Qari Zain said security forces actions will be only against Baituallah Mehsud and not the common people have nothing to do with it.
“We are Tehreek-e-Taliban Afghanistan and we have nothing to do with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan,” he clarified. |  |
