Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has blamed the Pakistan Army for leaking target information that led to the deaths of Masood Azhar’s family members during Indian strikes, calling the army “traitorous” and urging Islamists to reject it.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has issued a rare and strongly worded statement blaming the Pakistan Army for the killing of civilians, including family members of top Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist Maulana Masood Azhar, during the recent India-Pakistan tensions.
In a public note dated May 8, 2025, TTP spokesperson Muhammad Khorasani expressed sorrow and grief over what it called a “tragic incident” in which civilians were “martyred at various places.” The group directly accused Pakistan’s ‘pro-Western and traitorous army’ of the deaths of Masood Azhar's family members and aides .

The statement calls on the people of Pakistan, especially religious leaders and the Islamist community, to reject the “delusions” of the Pakistan Army and see its role in the latest tragedy.
