Terming United States President Barack Obama's ongoing visit of India as a plan by the US and India to ruin Pakistan, Tehrike Taliban Pakistan has asked the people of Pakistan to support his organisation for the sake of the country's survival.
Talking to rediff.com via telephone Taliban spokesperson Azam Tariq said, "American President Barack Obama is visiting India to make an alliance with Indians for Pakistan's destruction. We will never allow them to succeed."
According to Tariq, Obama is visiting India despite Pakistan's key role in the so-called war on terror. "This is a clear sign of America's enmity towards Pakistan, but the establishment and politicians in our country consider the US as its sincere friend."
The TTP spokesperson is convinced that Obama's visit to India is a clear indication of its support against Pakistan and its military organisation. "Before the India visit, the US banned two Pakistani jihadi organisations -- Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayiba -- just to win the hearts of Indians. The US had no threat from these organisations. If India is such a close friend of the US, Pakistan should part ways from them," he said.
Talking about the Kashmir dispute Tariq said, "For the last 63 years, Kashimiris are facing India's cruelty. Neither the US nor the United Nations or any other human rights organisation talks about this. Under these circumstances how can Pakistan claim that US is a good friend?"
"Obama did not bother to talk about the Kashmir issue during his first speech in India. It is clear that the Obama administration is anti-Pakistan and wants to empower India," he added.
The Taliban thinks that no Pakistan leader is loyal to the country, Tariq said. "Pakistan should not be influenced by the US and become its slaves," he concluded.
