LAHORE: Jamaat e Islami Pakistan Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has said that the terrorist activities in the country were the work of Kulbhushan Yadav, Raymond Davis and Black Water agents and not of any Pakistani.
Pakistan, the only state which came into being in the name of Islam, which is a nuclear power and capable of leading the Muslim world, is an eye sore for the enemy, who wanted to destabilise this country and shatter its national unity and harmony after Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Syria, he said, at a Pakhtoon Jirga at Mansoora on Friday.
Pakhtoon Ittehad movement chief Farooq Khan, Arshad Khan from Buner , Badar Khan from Mahmand Agency and Anjuman e Tajiran Balochisitan General Secretary Akbar Khan also addressed the Jirga.
Sirajul Haq said that terrorism was an issue of the entire nation and it should not be projected as a conflict between the Sindhis, Punjabis, Baloch and the Pakhtoons. He called upon the Punjab and Sindh governments to take immediate notice of the biased actions against the Pakhtoons and the Baloch and stop their unjustified for harassment.
Sirajul Haq said that Pakistanis were a peace loving and patriotic people who had faced the conspiracies of India, Israel and the US. However, he said that because of the wrong policies and misdeeds of the rulers, Pakistan and the Punjab were being criticised and the enemy had an opportunity to fan ethnic biases. He slated the arrests of the Pakhtoons and the Balochis in the Punjab and Sindh under the cover of investigation and said this was playing with the country’s solidarity.
JI Secretary General Liaqat Baloch, in his address, said that no patriotic citizen could differ so far as restoration of peace and the elimination of terrorism was concerned. However, he said that the NAP had raised issues about religion, sects, mosques and madrassas and now the operation Radul Fasaad had raised ethnic and regional issues.
He termed the FATA reforms as a historic victory of the tribal people.
JI Parliamentary leader Sahibzada Taruqullah, in his address, said that the Pakhtoons had offered unforgettable sacrifices for Pakistan’s defense. He demanded immediate release of the national identity cards of around three and a half lakh Pakhtoons held up by NADRA.
