Flashpoint Global Partners has obtained an exclusive interview with Punjabi Taliban leader Maulana Asmatullah Muoaviya. In the interview, he provides insight on his background, the goals of the Punjabi Taliban, and the Punjabi Taliban’s stance on drone strikes, as well as the ISI and MI. He explained, “After the tragedy of Lal Masjid, I, along with hundreds of our friends, came to the tribal areas and today, our organization has a presence in all four provinces of the country, including in the northern areas and Azad Kashmir. As you know, the PT is active in the entire country and operates as part of the TTP. Our war, our struggle and our sacrifices are for defense of our motherland Pakistan and for the glory of Islam. We aim at ridding this country of feudalism, dictatorship and a cruel system and replacing it with Islamic rule. To achieve this goal, we chose to take up arms.” He continued, “So as much as the US is responsible for the drone attacks, the ISI, MI and other intelligence agencies of Pakistan are equally assisting the US in these attacks.” He further noted, “We believe that RAW is one side of the coin while the other is ISI.”
