Claiming that "thousands of our well-armed militants are ready to fight alongside the army if any war is imposed on Pakistan," chief of the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, Baitullah Mehsud, told ‘The News’ daily by phone from an undisclosed location.
Hundreds of would-be bombers had been "given suicide jackets and explosive-laden vehicles for protection of the border in case of any aggression by the Indian forces", he said.
"The time had come, to wage a real jihad that the Taliban had been waiting for," Mehsud, for whom the Pakistani and US forces are on the look out claimed.
"We know very well that the visible and invisible enemies of the country have been planning to weaken this lone Islamic nuclear power. But the mujahideen will foil all such nefarious designs of our enemies," he said.
This is for the first time Mehsud has admitted that Taliban has marshalled thousands of fighters close to the Afghan-Pak border and where Pakistani army has launched a major operation to flush them out.
Mehsud said people might question how the Taliban would fight alongside the Pakistan Army when the militants had been fighting the force for a long time.
"Therefore, I want to make it clear that the army was acting otherwise (in the past). But now it would fight for the protection and survival of the country, which is why we will support them," Mehsud said.
Mehsud, who was accused by former President Pervez Musharraf of masterminding the assassination of PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto in December last year, significantly said the Taliban would defend the country's frontier with Afghanistan in the event of hostilities with India.
He said he wanted to "assure the nation, government and army that they should not worry about Pakistan's western borders with Afghanistan" as "thousands of his armed fighters had already been deployed to safeguard the strategically important frontier".
Taliban fighters are ready to fight under the army's command, he said, but remarked it would be better for the military to "give them a separate sector or specify special targets" for the militants".
Tensions have escalated in the region after India blamed Pakistan-elements for the Mumbai terror attacks, which killed over 180 people. India has asked Pakistan to take action against elements, including the Lashker-e-Taiba terror group.
Though India has said war is not an option, Pakistan's top leaders, including Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, have said the country is prepared to face any aggression on the eastern border. Several Taliban commanders have pledged their support to the Pakistan Army in the event of hostilities with India.

Its not a secret that taliban is more or less an defacto unit of pakistan army created to control afganisthan and its people for pakistans cause. Atlast we should see this as an acknowledgement from taliban.... lets take them on together....for a better world..

This may be the opportunity that India has been waiting for. India needs to mass all its forces and eliminate the taliban terrorists once and for all. Hopefully, the LeT terrorists will join the Taliban in the war. Eliminating these two groups will go a long way towars reducing barbaric attacks on Indian civilians
India to get the support from rest of the world .
This will be a clash between a modern and growing country and its people versus 17th century barbarians living in a world of aggression thru guns which has limitations in the long run.
We are a modern country where Dalits, Christians and muslims are treated lesser than animals.
Three cheers to the announcement from Indian public, on the first count that the Pakistan army cannot defend as shown in the last three war games, and on the second count Taliban has invited US AND other western countries, that Pakistan is not an allay of Us BUT OF TALIBAN, and hence the fight on the western border will taliban will be escalating to eastern border, and the america will not support PAK in case India, pin points Taliban and LeT camps and erradicate the venom
As long as we breed patriots(?) like AR Antulay for the sake of votebank,we need to give diplomatic statements preaching peace to agressive pakis.any way this is not the time for war.Think that you faught war and spend those huge amount (say 30-40000 crores) in improving internal security and fighting curruption(statting from politicians,army,below).seal your boundaries,increase the salary,as far as pakisthan is concerned we need not to worry if we do this much because it is a sinking boat with lot of holes in it like taliban,Jem,Al-qaida,ISI,Army,President,PM,Economy,Poverty,Joblessness etc.Just do your home work in long term you will be winner.you dont have to beg anyone for help.
They hostage near about 600 people in Bombay and killed near about 350 (as per news channels) and they are only 10 people and, if these 600 people tries to kill them then what will happen they can kill max to 50 people (As we know they are here to kill us but it is not known, it is known that we are hostage only).But now it is clear that, whenever they made hostage to the people they will kill all, so spread this to all if in future this happens, then all of you people just try to kill them all slon(parden my lang here but i am very much in anger) ki himmat nahin padegi dobara aise karne ki.Jab pata hai marna hi haito marke kyun na maren................................................................I am ready for this are you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey indian, this is the correct spelling of LANGUAGE. Stop ridiculing others .
Mehsud is Chanakya reincarnated. In one stroke he makes common cause with the Pakistani Awaam against India , the rakshas across the border. I f there is ever a shot fired across the border by the Taleban , the people will forget that this creation of the CIA, who have been extremely brave against their own people and especially women, who came in at the fag end of the battle to gain all credit for having driven out the Russians are to be feared much more than any Indian army. Pakistan has fought three major wars with India, sacrificed the lives of many brave soldiers and was always treated with honour by the Indians. India could have very well handed over 93000 Pakistani soldiers in 1971-72 to the Bangladeshis clamoring for war criminals and felt justified. After all, the atrocities on the Bengalis tantamount to an attempt at genocide. All the 93000 went home. This is much more better treatment than the Pakistanis have ever got from the Taleban. Trust jackals at your own cost!
MEHSUD'S STATEMENT REVEALS HOW PAK MILITARY = IS I = MILITANTS ( TALIBAN LeT JUD MUJAHEDEEN GROUPS) ARE LINKED WITH EACH OTHER . IT GIVES AN IMPRESSION THAT PAK ARMY HAS CREATED A - REGULARISED- NON REGULAR ARMY IN PATHANI SUITS WELL TRAINED BY ISI . AND WE ARE ASKING OUR NEIGHBORS TO DISMANTLE INFRASTRUCTURES OF THESE IRREGULARS . WHICH SEEMS A REMOTE AND IMPOSSIBLE PROPOSITION . WILL THE NEIGHBORS DO IT SINCERELY ???? OUR INDIAN ARMY IS WELL TRAINED AND THIRD BEST IN THE WORLD TO TAKE ON NOT ONLY THE REGULARS BUT EVEN THESE IRREGULARS JUST RECENTLY OUR IAF PILOTS HAVE BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED AS THE BEST BY AMERICANS . . WE ARE NOT RABBLE ROUSERS BUT OUR DISCIPLINED FORCES WILL PROVE SILENTLY IF NEED BE AND MAKE OUR NATION PROUD AGAIN . BUT WE HAVE A LESSON TO DRAW FROM TALIBAN , TO CONTROL HINDU TERROR HAVING TACIT LINKS WITH ARMY (LtCol Purohit ) , OTHERWISE WE WILL NOT BE DIFFERENT FROM NEIGHBORS
Talibaan is the creation of Pakistan Army as an auxiliary force created by ISI. This fact should be understood clearly.They are fighting a proxy war for Pakistan Army and killing US and NATO forces . Unfortuntely USA in their blindness is unable to see the light of the day.Pakistan gave refuge to AlQuida for future war for Kashmir. Pakistan army which is willing to fight India has refused indirectly to fight Taliban because one doesnot destroy its own forces.Why should India be shocked by such statment. It shows lack of intllegence and facing the reality .
We Indian brothers will stand with our dear heroes at the border to face you and remember we are 1.3 billion population with brains unlike you from the mountains.
I salute the Indian express. And kindly listen to me.. please start a news paper in Hindi and English, to tell all Indians that Pakistan is our enemy for ever, educate them there is a possible war.. and all of us unite and forget about the flag of any parties, to become pure indians and to be careful that pakistanis are hiding some where in cities, may be in our buildings etc and to keep your eyes and ears open for any suspected persons around us. in the train, in the bus , in the bus statations, in the cabs. There is a news paper in pakistan called JUNK and this news paper feed the citizens to become anti india.I am an ex.soldier
IT GOOD, WITH ONE SHORT TWO BIRDS. TALIBAN TOOK AIR INDIA AIR CRAFT TO KHANDHAR, SO TALIBAN ALSO HAS DUES TO GET A MISSILE SHORT FROM INDIA. WE WILL STAND ON THEIR SOIL AND FIGHT.. LIKE WHAT THEY DID IN BOMBAY.. OUR LEADERS ESPECIALLY THE DEFENCE MINISTER SHOULD PLAY THE CD AND WATCH THE CRYING OF WOMEN WHO LOST THEIR HUSBANDS, MOTHERS WHO LOST THEIR SONS, WHEN THE PAKISTAN BACKED TERRORIST ATTACHED INNOCENT INDIANS WAITING FOR LOCAL TRAINS AT THE RAILWAY STATION.
do u two dogs can live peacefully in a street my answer is no never so this is the best example for indians u hindus can never be trusted even ur own dalits u r making them suffer those who fought along side hindu i.e sikhs to scatter muslims from north india u had even betrayed them it is true muslims are under pressure from allside but still we are defending ourselves dnt worry even if u hindus will get united this time nothing can stop muslims to destroy any one who is coming in their way take care
A kind of natural alliance and this was expected !No worries..we will take you both !
This is a known equation that is Taliban is equal to Pakistan (ISI) and this has been confirmed even by Ex-President Parvez Musharraf by signing an agreement with them. So there is no suprise in this statement.
Chandra Shekhar you are right but not completely. India was ruled by Muslims and Muslim rule will again establish
Abdullah, those days are gone, dont be under this delusion of yours....you will only be dissapointed
And before muslims it was ruled by hindus. BTW I dont really mind if our PM is a muslim as long he is capable of taking India forward, as i am not a half wit like you. ... your convoluted mind is exposed....
Dear Honourable Mr Antulay,What are your comments on this!Are we the Only weak Nation which has to take kicks from outside and from within as it is not a question now of the stark terrorism being inflicted on us but more a war of the relgion.The Sacrifices of those who fought for India,s freedom have slowly gone to waste and after 60 years we see a bigger divide than what we saw in 1947.We are unable to act because of the Political Compulsions-the Vote Bank but the others can do what they want. I am willing to touch your feet but please say something about this too now-Will you Condemn it Please Mr Antulay!
People now believe that India is a poor country, they fear Taliban as well as Pakistan
its not surprising that the taliban will fight with pak army in a war with india.pakees are losers so all they are left is the unsatiable desire to weaken indias economy.no sane soul will have any sympathy for them.the united states has not been really hard enough on pakistan.today any guy found to be supporting or sympathyzing with pakistan or acting against indias interest must be hanged without trial.we have had enough.
Bollocks! U r shitting in ur pants now! wait until U.S n other forces r withdrawn from Iraq n deployed in Pak-afghan border.India don't even have to fire a single bullet!and ha,ha ,ha only the other day u said Baitullh Masood has been killed, the chap Musharraf said was responsible in killing Mrs Bhutto! Wake up u comedians ,your game is over!Now that u have been caught red handed by the international community u have no choice!
India will be bombed back to Stone Age, they are showing aggression to the wrong country!! India needs to reconsider its strategy and take a more dialogue approach..
hey Malik...it seems like there is a taste of threaten in ur language. if India started to fear the barking pakistan...India would not be anymore by this time. even you also know that India wont fall/surrender to any evil force..with some bombings across the India and killing some innocents wont make India fear.. you also know that well. you are barking us at india's mercy. india wont lose !!! in case india lose, before that pakistan will loose; no pakistan wouldnt be anymore.
Well India may be pusshed back to stone age but your beloved Pakistan would be wiped out of the world Map. Anyway, it would be better for both to go for a dislogue
I have been saying this for a while now. As long as there is a Pakistan, there will be big troubles (danger) for India. Taliban Pakistanis, almost the entire Pak population, see India as a Hindu India. They do not care who lives in India. And, then you have people like Abdul Rahman Antulay whose hidden desire to support Jihadi approaches is as dangerous as that of Taliban Pak. Jihadi goal is to exhaust and defeat India and at minimum establish a Muslim rule over the entire sub-continent. India (Hindu India) has the heritage of being peaceful and mild manner. But come on, let us wake up to the reality and take the fight to Pakistan and finish it there. Do not be scared of their A bombs. Be ready and fight. Let us defend our Vedic heritage. Otherwise Taliban Pak's Gori like tactics just might succeed !
