The latest issue of the Jihadist magazine Ihya-e-Khilafat (Revival of the Islamic Caliphate), which is published by Islamist militant group Tehreek-E-Taliban Pakistan (Jamaat-Ul-Ahrar), in an article on the founder of Pakistan, Muhhamad Ali Jinnah, has criticised him as an agent of the British and has held him "responsible for the division of India".

In the article titled Muhhamad Ali Jinnah: Hero or Traitor, Jinnah has been accused of acting as an "agent to safeguard the wicked British Empire" who opposed Mahatma Gandhi to please the British.

"His opposition to Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) was not based on some religious issues rather it was meant to protect the British interest. Gandhi was basically a staunch Indian nationalist and wanted to expel the British occupiers from his homeland. Jinnah on the other hand started the campaign to keep India as a dominion under the British crown like that of present day Canada, New Zealand and Australia", reads the article.

The latest issue of the magazine, which is in English, was first published by the TTP in English in October last year with the aim to address the English-speaking population of the world.

The article, which claims to be based on historical texts and books on Jinnah, has tried to substantiate its claims with 17 references that have been taken from multiple sources. Referring to the "two nation theory", the article has castigated Jinnah for "dividing the Muslims and creating a secular state, Pakistan".

"The prime aim of the two nation theory was to sow seeds of hatred between the Hindus and the Muslims. Due to this evil mischief, Hindus who had behaved as obedient citizens in Muslim India for about a millennium and had supported the Muslims against the British crusaders in the 1857 war of independence and the Khilafat Movement, gradually became distraught. Ultimately, the seeds of hatred grew into towering trees and Pakistan was created on 14 August 1947 after millions of Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs lost their lives in the ensuing communal riots". According to the article, after the creation of Pakistan, "the pro-crusader Pakistani elite viciously blocked every effort to establish Islamic law in the country and simultaneously kept neighbouring India under the constant threat of war."

"During the last 65 years, the energies and the resources of the Pakistani Muslims have been employed against the neighbouring Indians and the crusader powers, who were the real enemies, have been supplying weapons and interest based loans to both nations", it says.

In the end, the article, referring to Jinnah as a pro crusader, calls for the "smashing of Jinnah, democracy and nationalism as idols that were erected by the crusaders and their Pakistani hypocrite puppets".
