(PTI) front man Naeemul Haque on Thursday defended his stance over calling Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Mansour a 'martyr'.

"Fighting to liberate your homeland is a just cause," Naeem told Dawn.com, a day after he spoke on a television show and called the head of the outlawed Taliban a 'martyr'.

The PTI front man told Dawn.com he believes 'shaheed' (martyr) is a "political term" and even Indian Moslem soldiers killed in Kargil

He justified his position by saying that till a few weeks ago Pak authorities were talking to the same Afghan Taliban in Murree in the presence of American and Afghan officials.
