TTP’s Big Insult to Pakistan: Jinnah’s Portrait Thrashed with Shoes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Islamabad: Fighters from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, have gone too far. They took over a government school in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and trashed photos of the country's founder, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, and poet Allama Mohammad Iqbal. In the video, you see them chucking shoes at the pictures and yelling insults at Pakistan and its leaders in Pashto. This ugly scene broke on November 3, 2025, and it's blowing up all over social media right now.

What Do You See in the Video?

It's a short clip, just 34 seconds long, posted online. A group of armed TTP guys stands right in front of the photos hanging on the school wall. One of them kicks off his shoes and smacks Jinnah's picture over and over. The others join in, cursing Pakistan in Pashto. They don't spare Iqbal's photo either – shoes fly at that one too. No signs or writing pops up in the video, but it's clear they're in a classroom setup. Folks think this happened in a border spot in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where TTP is grabbing more ground thanks to the fresh tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

How Is TTP's Grip on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Tightening?

TTP has dug in deep across big chunks of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, mostly near the Pakistan-Afghanistan line. The Pakistani army's holding back from pushing in, and that's just making TTP scarier. Over the last few months, their attacks have ramped up big time. This video? It looks like it came from one of those fresh takeovers at a school.

Quick Take on TTP

TTP goes by Pakistani Taliban too. They're all about forcing strict Islamic rules, or Sharia, on Pakistan and they're in open war with the government. They're tight with the Afghan Taliban in ideas, but they stick mostly to the border zones. Their biggest playground is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – that's where they pull in new fighters and plan hits. This mess points to how TTP is turning into a real headache for Pakistan, especially after killing scores of soldiers in late attacks.

What This Whole Thing Really Mean?

Slapping around icons like Jinnah and Iqbal? That's a gut punch to what Pakistan stands for. It screams how bold TTP's gotten and how the country's stuck in a terror mess it helped create. The real test now is for the government and military to claw back those spots and shut this down for good.
