PESHAWAR β Jamaat-e-Islami chief Prof Munawar Hassan on Saturday said the military operations against militants in the tribal areas had not only failed to get their objectives but also increased terrorism and violence.
βAll such military actions have failed while the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) press releases lack trust and credibility,β the JI central leader remarked while addressing a meet the press programme at the press club here.
Flanked by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa JI Amir Prof Ibrahim Khan and others, Munawar urged the government and the chief of the army staff to refrain from a military action in North Waziristan, opining it could yield negative impacts.
