Jamaat-i-Islami criticises statement of Foreign Secretary

01 Jul, 2012

Ameer Jamaat-i-Islami Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hasan, reacting to the statement of Secretary Foreign Affairs termed it against Pakistan's autonomy, security and integrity. Earlier the Secretary Foreign Affairs said the reopening of Nato supply line is in favour of Pakistan itself. He said the US on many occasions had categorically said it would not apologise for Salala Check Post attack and continue drone attacks.
He expressed these views while talking to various public delegations here at Mansoora on Saturday. He recalled that Parliament put conditions to resume the Nato supply including apology from the US and stoppage of drone attacks. However, the US kicked against these terms. He said the time to seek apology from the US has passed. "Now the issue is of national interests, execution of Parliament's resolutions and its respect," he added.
Syed Munawar Hasan advised the Secretary Foreign Affairs that he should not worry about pull out of US and its allied forces. Earlier, the Secretary Foreign Affairs said if the Nato supply were not restored, it would be difficult for the US to draw its forces from Afghanistan. "Pulling out of Afghanistan is US concern not of Pakistan, JI Ameer said.
He warned if the Nato supply is reopened the terror activities would increase in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He said the US has imposed a war on Pakistan and Afghanistan under the grab of War on Terror. "Accordingly, the US has become an enemy of Pakistan so the Nato supply should not be restored at any cost," he added.
He said Pakistan has sacrificed much more than any other but the US has waged an unannounced war against Pakistan on the name of War on Terror. He held US responsible for all kind of crises Pakistan is facing and said it wanted to get control of Pakistan's nuclear programme.
He said though Pakistan has given support to US interests at all levels and provided its soil, air route and logistic support to US even then US with the help of Israel and India is hatching conspiracies against Pakistan. "It is US that has worsened Balochistan situation. Its Black Water is indulged in terrorist activities and even then Pakistan rulers seem to be given up to the US and India and, more than that, India is being given way to Afghanistan on the name of trade," he added. JI Ameer said those who expected any benefit from the US live in fool's paradise.
