The Imam said that under the situation outside the mosque, it is dangerous to stay inside.
"Our objective was to pressurize the government," he said, and admitted that they instilled the spirit of "Jehad" among the students.
"The entire campaign was meant for the enforcement of Sharia," he said.
He also said he had sympathies with banned Jehadi groups.
Maulana also admitted that his students kidnapped some people, but insisted that all the actions were taken in response to the government''s steps to demolish mosques and to detain teachers of his girls'' seminary.
Answering a question, he admitted it was wrong to snatch the arms from the police, but said that was students'' reaction to the security forces'' measures of erecting barbed wires near the mosque and seminary complex.
