TTP are not Mujahideen but Khawaraj, says Sufi Muhammad

ISLAMABAD - Sufi Muhammad, chief of the banned Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM), said that Taliban leader and his son-in-law Mullah Fazalullah has renounced Islam.

In an interview with a private TV channel on Friday, he said that Mullah Fazalullah has rebelled Shariah. “Taliban are not Mujahids, but Khawaraj,” he maintained.

Sufi Muhammad, who was recently released from jail, said that Fazalullah deserves the death sentence.

“It is ‘haram’ (forbidden) to fight against the Pak Army and attack schools,” he said. “Pakistan would have been divided had there not been the Army.”

Sufi Muhammad said that the person raising arms against Pakistan is a convert.
