Some Afghan individuals with clear pro-Indian leanings, are said to be promoting PTM’s designs
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) has allegedly been using Afghan refugees to organise protests against Pakistan.
According to reports, PTM’s leadership abroad, including Afghan demonstrators, has been coordinating anti-Pakistan protests.
Some Afghan individuals with clear pro-Indian leanings are said to be promoting PTM’s propaganda in Western countries.
Abdul Rehman Hanif, recently appointed as PTM’s Nebraska State Coordinator in the USA, is a former member of the Afghan military and has openly expressed admiration for India and Hinduism.
This suggests PTM’s connections with both Afghanistan and India.
Similarly, Sharifullah Sharafat, an Afghan national based in Virginia, USA, has been appointed as PTM’s State Coordinator for Maryland-Virginia.
Recently, Afghan individuals, allegedly incited by hostile forces, participated in an attack on Pakistan’s embassy in Germany.
These Afghan nationals are believed to be following PTM’s agenda, which is viewed as a foreign-backed proxy aimed at creating division rather than addressing legitimate concerns.
