Operation Radd-ul-FasaadTranscript of video confessional statement of ex-TTP Spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The former Spokesman of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA) Ehsan Ullah Ehsan has claimed that outlawed terror groups are funded and assisted by India and its Spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) to carry out subversive activities in Pakistan.

In his confessional video released by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Wednesday, Liaquat Ali Alias Ehsanullah Ehsan said that following the beginning of Operations launched by Pakistan military in tribal areas, the TTP leadership fled to Afghanistan.

“After the operation in North Waziristan, we fled to Afghanistan. Over there, we established and developed contacts with India and RAW,” Ehsan Ullah Ehsan said.

“They (the TTP leadership) got their (Indian) support, their funding and took money for every activity they did. They pushed the TTP soldiers on the frontlines to fight against the Pakistan Army and went into hiding themselves,” he added.

The former Spokesman of TTP and JuA said that terror organizations had set up Committees in Afghanistan through which they communicated and coordinated with RAW. He said that terrorists moved around Afghanistan without any difficulty as they had special visas given by Indians.

Ehsan Ullah Ehsan said that after they had begun taking help from India and RAW, he once told Omar Khalid Khorasani that they were helping infidels kill their own people in Pakistan.

However, Khorasani replied that even if Israel funded him to destabilize Pakistan, he would not hesitate to do it, Ehsan added.

Ehsan Ullah Ehsan revealed that Pakistan army’s Operations caused enormous damages to TTP, and after they failed to receive media coverage, they began misleading the youth through social media.

“They started misleading them (young people) and provoking them using wrong interpretations of Islam. They spread propaganda and statements that could turn young people onto their side,” Ehsan said.

“I have a message for these young people too: these people are fighting only for their selfish designs and are being used by external forces,” he added.

Ehsan Ullah Ehsan said that he voluntarily surrendered to Pakistan army after he realized that the TTP leadership was aimed at to serve its self-interests and fulfill agenda of infidels.

Earlier on April 17, the Director General ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor said in a media briefing in Rawalpindi that former TTP Spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan and other terrorists had surrendered to the Pakistan army.

The director general ISPR said that surrender of militants including Ehsanullah Ehsan reflected the successes of Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad.

Some important points of transcript of his confessional statement.

“My name is Liaquat Ali, aka Ehsanullah Ehsan, and I belong to the Mohmand Agency,”

“I joined the TTP in 2008, when I was a college student.”

“I have been a spokesperson for TTP Mohmand, TTP’s central division, and the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar. I have seen a lot in my nine years with these organisations.”

“These people have misled people in the name of Islam, especially the youth, for their own ends. They themselves do not hold themselves to the same standards they champion for others.”

“A particular group [within them] is responsible for misleading people, kidnapping them and extorting them for money, and murdering innocents,” he says. “These people have been behind bombing attacks in public spaces and attacking schools, colleges and universities. This is not what Islam teaches us.

“When the operation in Waziristan kicked off, these people started fighting within themselves for more power and leadership”.

“After Hakimullah was killed, a new succession struggle kicked off. Separate campaigns were kicked off in support of Omar Khalid Khorasani. Everyone wanted power, so a shura decided that there would be a draw of names for who would be leader. This is how Mullah Fazlullah was elected leader of the TTP.”

“What can you expect from a leader who was nominated through a lucky draw? And what can you expect from Fazlullah, who married his mentor’s daughter by force and took her away. People like him are not fit to serve Islam”.

“After the operation in North Waziristan, we fled to Afghanistan”.

“Over there, we established and developed contacts with India and RA,”.

“They [the TTP leadership] got their [Indian] support, their funding and took money for every activity they did. They pushed the TTP soldiers to the frontlines to fight against the Pakistan Army and went into hiding themselves”.

“When they started taking help from India and RAW, I told Khorasani that we’re supporting the kuffar [non-believers] and helping them kill our own people in our own country.”

“He [Khorasani] said: ‘Even if Israel wants to fund me to destabilise Pakistan, I will not hesitate in taking their help’.”

“At that point, I had figured out that the TTP was functioning according to some sort of agenda that served the self-interest of its leaders.”

“These [terrorist] organizations have established committees in Afghanistan through which they communicate and coordinate with RAW. The Indians had given them special documents to help them move around Afghanistan with ease. In Afghanistan, these documents function like Pakistani ID cards.”

“Without these documents, it is very difficult for terrorists to move around Afghanistan considering the security situation in that country”.

“These [terrorists] used to keep in contact with Afghan and Indian security forces before they moved anywhere in the country. They used to grant them passage and guide their infiltration attempts into Pakistan.”

“Since Pakistan Army destroyed several Jamaat-ul-Ahrar camps in Parcha and Lalpura and killed many of their commandos in its ongoing operation, they’ve had to flee the area and abandon their stronghold. Due to this, the morale of their commanders and their senior leadership has been shaken.”

“There are people in those camps who have had enough — who want to quit. I want to send out a message to them.”

“Stop what you are doing and adopt the path of peace, and come back to a life of tranquillity.”

“When these people stopped getting airtime and coverage in media to the ongoing operations, they turned to social media to rope in young people who do not know better”.

“They started misleading them and provoking them using wrong interpretations of Islam. They spread propaganda and statements that could turn young people onto their side.”

“I have a message for young people too: these people are fighting only for their selfish designs and are being used by external forces.”

“The reasons I have discussed here turned me away from these organisations and motivated me to turn myself over voluntarily to Pakistan Army,” concludes his statement.
