Deobandi militants in Peshawar Pakistan kill the Lion of Pashtuns Bashir Bilour Shaheed

قتل گاہوں سے چُن کر ہمارے علم
اور نکلیں گے عشاق کے قافلے
جن کی راہِ طلب سے ہمارے قدم
مختصر کر چلے درد کے فاصلے
کر چلے جن کی خاطر جہاں گیر ہم
جاں گنوا کر تری دلبری کا بھرم
ہم جو تاریک راہوں میں مارے گئے

Peshawar: Senior Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bashir Ahmed Bilour has been killed in a suicide attack in Peshawar, while seven others have been killed and over 18 injured in a bomb attack by Takfiri Deobandi militants of Sipah Sahaba Taliban (SST). Deobandi militants operate in Pakistan’s tribal areas as Taliban or TTP, however, the same group operates as Sipah Sahaba in Peshawar, Karachi, Quetta, Lahore and other settled areas of Pakitan.

Sipah Sahaba Taliban have now claimed responsibility of the deadly attack on Senior Khyber Pakhtunkhua (KPK) Minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour. At least seven people were killed and 18 others injured in the suicide blast outside the minister’s residence. He belongs to Awami National Party (ANP), a secular party which is opposed to violent enforcement of Islam by Takfiri Deobandi militants of Sipah Sahaba Taliban.

Talking to media from an undisclosed location, the TTP Spokesman Ihsan ullah Ihsan claimed responsibility of the attack and vowed to carry out more attacks against all those people who were against the militants.

According to the hospital sources, Bashir Bilour received critical wounds to his chest and stomach and did not survive.

Sources said that the explosion took place when Bashir Bilour was exiting the residence along with his personal secretary and SHO Kabuli Police Station. Both the personal secretary as well as the SHO, Sattar Khan were killed in the explosion in which several others have also been injured.

Why did Sipah Sahaba Taliban attack Bashir Bilour?

Not unlike Mian Iftikhar Hussain of ANP, Bashir Bilour was known as the Lion of Pakhtunkhwa because of his bold stance against Pakistan army-sponsored Deobandi militants of Sipah Sahaba Taliban (SST).

Bashir Bilour was aware of Deobandi militants’ terrorist activities against Pakistan in general and the people of KPK and FATA in particular. He was a supporter of the Sunni Shia unity and was always at the forefront of condemning terrorist activities by the Sipah Sahaba Taliban. For example, on 24 November 2012, a few weeks before his martyrdom, Mr Bilour categorically condemned the Deobandi terrorists who attacked Shia Muslims procession in D.I.Khan.
