Taliban vows to unleash jihad in Kashmir, implement Sharia
2013-01-08
Top Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan leader Wali Ur Rehman, in a rare video appearance, has pledged to send fighters to Kashmir and wage a struggle for the implementation of Sharia rule in India

The United States had earlier announced a $5 million reward against Wali Ur Rehman for his involvement in the murder of seven Central Intelligence Agency officials in Afghanistan in December 2009.

Rehman, along with the TTP chief Hamikullah Mehsud, is believed to have said this in a rare video:

"The practical struggle for a Sharia system that we are carrying out in Pakistan, the same way we will continue it in Kashmir, and the same way we will implement the Sharia system in India too. And this is the only solution for people's problems," said Rehman, according to the translation provided by the Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor of Middle East Media Research Institute, a Washington-based think tank.

The video in Pashtu, with Urdu subtitles, has been produced by Umar Media, the broadcasting arm of the TTP.

The video is titled The False Propaganda of the Dajjali Media Revealed. It was released to internet on January 6.

According to MEMRI, TTP's official spokesman Ehsanullah Ihsan can also be seen in the video, which devotes a section on Kashmir.

Claiming that the Jihad launched by the Pakistani government inside Kashmir has failed to yield the desired result, the TTP says that it will launch its own jihad in the valley and talks about sending its own jihadi forces there.

"Allah willing, the mujahedeen of Tehreek-e-Taliban will arrive in Kashmir and as per the Islamic Sharia will help the Kashmiris get their rights. As our ancestors sacrificed their lives for Kashmir and got Kashmir liberated by force (in 1947-48), the same way their progenies, walking in the footsteps of their forefathers, will get Kashmir liberated (from India), and will help them get their rights," Rehman said.
