Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hassan, has strongly condemned the restoration of Nato supplies and said that the rulers had put a seal on the document of their slavery. He said that while the government had strengthened the enemies of Islam and Pakistan, the nation would have to rise for its independence and for the protection of its nuclear weapons.
The nation should unite as one man against this anti- Pakistan decision and close all supply routes, he added. He said the Defa-e-Pakistan council would decide its future line of action on the decision at its meeting. Hassan said that the rulers had served the US interest at the cost of vital national interest and the decision would prove their death warrant, he added.
He further said that instead of curtailing the US interference, the government had paved the way for its intensification. He said the National Security Committee and the parliament had made the supplies restoration conditional with an apology on the Salala attack and stoppage of drone attacks. However, the so called apology by the US Secretary of State was a play of words, there was no mention of the drones.
The JI Ameer said that the rulers in Islamabad are so mindful of the US interests that they had withdrawn their demand for transit fee of five thousand dollars. God alone knew what is behind the door, he remarked. He said that by their silence on the drone attacks, the rulers had given US a license to carry on the carnage of tribal people. He appealed to the container drivers to prove their patriotism by refusing to drive Nato supplies.
