LeJ chief preaches violence in Pak

The document,titled ‘Highly objectionable activities of Malik Ishaq’,said that Ishaq’s name has also been placed in the fourth schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act for appropriate legal action. Persons included in the fourth schedule of the ATA have to be watched by the police at all times.

The Express Tribune newspaper quoted the document as saying that Ishaq addressed Madrasa Tajul Aloom at Tab Chouhan on September 2. Earlier the same day,he delivered an address at Maki Mosque in Thal Hamza district.

“All those against (Spiah-e-) Sahaba,are not our personal enemies,but the enemies of Islam. And we will fight them…we cannot tolerate these elements at any cost,” Ishaq was quoted as saying during his address.

Days later,Ishaq attended a ‘Difa-e-Sahaba’ conference held at Madrasa Qasamul Uloom. During the conference,inflammatory slogans were chanted. Ishaq vowed that the “killings of the enemies of Sahaba would continue”. “Prisons will not stop our mission. The LeJ is not a terrorist outfit. It was set up to ensure proper respect for the companions of the Holy Prophet,” he said. He said he would not abandon the LeJ’s mission even if he was jailed again.

“Our struggle will continue,” he reiterated. On September 6,Ishaq visited the house of high-profile terrorist Abdul Wahab alias Aanek Wala Jin,whose name is included in the ‘Red Book’,a list of most-wanted terrorists.
