The outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has rejected as fake a video circulating on social media that purportedly shows Mufti Nadeem Darwesh expressing support for the ongoing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protest.
In a statement responding to the circulating footage, the TTP said it had issued no formal statement regarding the current political situation or PTI’s protest.
The group also alleged that Pakistani intelligence agencies were behind such material in an attempt to associate public protests with militancy. WAR MONITOR has not independently verified this allegation or established the origin of the circulating video.
Independent verification is pending.
