The Taliban on Saturday described the Pakistani cricket team’s tour of India as a “disgusting gesture” and held out threats of violence against India.
In a statement emailed to journalists, Tehrik-e-Tali-ban Pakistan spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan said the “visit of Pakistani team to India is a disgusting gesture. Pakistan’s government is doing all this on the orders of their god America and in fear of India”.
He held out a threat of violence against India.
“God willing, mujahideen of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan will soon clear the debt of blood of martyrs with India”.
In the statement titled “Forgetting the blood of Kashmiris?”, Ihsan said the Pakistani cricket team is visiting at a time when “India is the one forbidding Kashmiri Muslim nation to freedom (sic)”.
