Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has slammed the Taliban for trying to drag the country back into 'stone-age' in the name of Islam.
Addressing a gathering during the closing ceremony of a two-week cultural festival in his home province of Sindh, the son of assassinated Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto also urged Pakistanis to rise up against the threats.
Bilawal said that the Taliban wanted to impose the law of terror in Pakistan, adding that the terror group was trying to bring back the stone-age era in the country in the name of Islam, Dawn News reports.
He said that they all were Muslims and the terrorist groups should not try to teach them Islam.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has killed nearly 7,000 people in the insurgency since it began in 2007, the report added.
