Jamat-ud-Dawa on Friday rejected the US President's apology to the Muslim world after his soldiers had set the Holy Qura'n on fire in Afghanistan, saying it was just a political gimmick. Hundreds of protestors demanded of the Pakistani government to permanently close the supplies to the invaded Nato and US forces in Afghanistan, saying opening transport routes to the forces which had burnt the Holy book of Muslims would be a shameful decision of the rulers.
Staging an anti-US protest demonstration outside Karachi Press Club, the angry protestors had banners, placards and flags in their hands, which continued to shout anti-US and Nato forces slogans and asked the government to disconnect its ties with the Western Powers. Speakers called upon the Muslim world to renounce the UN membership, saying the global institution was under big influence of the US and had never been independent to take its decisions. They said those US soldiers burnt the sacred scriptures had strong backing by their clergy.
They warned "Our struggle is against those who disrespected the Holy Qura'n and killing Muslims," adding that the action of US army men had bitterly hurt the Muslim community's sentiments around the world. They said Jamat-ud-Dawa would undertake countrywide anti-US drive to denounce the sacrilegious act.
