The collaboration between the banned Khawarij group and the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) has been unveiled, revealing deeper ties. Khawarij has announced a 5-day ceasefire from October 9 to October 13 in Khyber District to support PTM’s so-called “Pashtun National Court” on October 11, 2024.
01PTM’s False Advocacy for Pashtun Rights
While PTM claims to advocate for Pashtun rights, the reality is different. The group has been sowing seeds of anti-state sentiments and hatred within the Pashtun tribes, echoing the same rhetoric as the Khawarij.

02Khawarij’s Sham Ceasefire
Khawarij’s ceasefire is a weak attempt to garner sympathy from innocent Pashtuns. The group’s recent declaration aligns closely with PTM’s terminology, proving their collaboration.
Defense analysts have commented that Khawarij’s ceasefire is an attempt to manipulate public perception. The group has been responsible for bloodshed in Pashtun regions for over two decades, and now they are attempting to paint themselves as victims while tarnishing Pakistan’s armed forces.
