Amir Jamaat-i-Islami Qazi Hussain Ahmed has disclosed that US wants to establish its military base in Bajaur. Addressing a news conference here at Peshawar Press Club on Sunday, he said this hue and cry is the part of the game.
He said during one and a half hour meeting with Interior Adviser Rehman Malik, he conveyed his reservations regarding formation of Lashkar in tribal areas. He said the strategy of Lashkar would further destabilise the situation and the people become enemy of each other.
He said it is conspiracy about sowing seeds of hatred and enmity between the tribal people, which is not in the interest of the country. He said US will take benefit of the situation and will pave the way for civil war in tribal areas. Qazi Hussain Ahmed said that US was planning to shift its war from Afghanistan to Pakistan therefore it was destabilising the situation in tribal areas.
He said if government was sincere in establishment of peace it should have taken the local leadership of JI into confidence and the result could be different.
He warned the government not to support US further and evolve policies according to the wishes and aspirations of the people. To a question, Qazi said nothing was divulged in in-camera meeting of the Parliament. He asked the government to desist from US war and create harmony among the people.
