Harakat-e-Inqilab-e-Islami Pakistan is a militant group formed in Pakistan in early 2025, led by Amir Ghazi Shahabuddin.[1] The group is suspected to have historical links to Harakat-i Inqilab-i Islami, an Afghan faction active during the Soviet–Afghan War. The group vowed to fight against the Pakistani state and establish an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (1996–2001) style government.
Unverified reports also suggest possible ties to al-Qaeda.[2][3]
Lashkar-e-Islam announced the formation of an alliance, "Ittihad-ul-Mujahideen Pakistan", with two other factions of the Pakistani Taliban, Hafiz Gul Bahadur and the recently formed, Harakat-e-Inqila-e-Islami, The Khorasan Diary reported on April 12. The alliance will be represented by "Sadaye Ghazwat-ul-Hind" as its media mouthpiece, with Mahmud-ul-Hasan as its ‘spokesperson’. The statement calls on other Pakistani jihadist factions to join, aiming to "organize jihad among the Mujahideen".[4][5][6]
