Imran Khan Supporting & Legitimizing Taliban Propaganda

Imran Khan - chairman of PTI, Pakistan's radical rightwing political party - in his recent tweets defended the Taliban propaganda by legitimizing what they claim their war to be. He supported them by admitting that Taliban's war against America is for their religion. While a rational person would argue that Taliban are only fighting to seize political power through violent means.

Imran Khan tweeted:

One, we have to get out of Americas war, stop drones to deny hardcore militants the narrative of Jihad. They use it to creat suicide bombers

Denial of 'war against infidels' narrative will also turn around many. In this way reduce the size of militants to a small hardcore
