He blasted Islamabad for bestowing the ‘Quaid-e-Azam (Great Leader)’ title onto the country’s founding father Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

He said that there was nothing Islamic about Islamabad and that Pakistan must rescind the title of Quaid-e-Azam given to Jinnah as only Prophet Mohammad can be accorded such laurel, according to reports.

The video comes weeks after a skirmish erupted in the Durand Line— the boundary line between Pakistan and Afghanistan— between Taliban and Pakistani security forces when Pakistani soldiers tried to erect a military structure along the border.

The Pakistani military said three of its soldiers were killed and claimed casualties from the Afghan side as well.

The border, drawn during British colonial rule, has been the source of dispute between the two sides. While Afghan authorities do not recognise the demarcation, Pakistan treats it as an international frontier and has fenced it.
