Pakistanis should rise and compel their government to withdraw a decision to grant Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India, a Kashmiri separatist leader said on Sunday. Kashmiri separatists have rejected the Pakistan-India trade pact, saying it was being done under pressure from the United States. “Pakistani government is taking dictation from America and this deal is also result of that dictation,” Syed Ali Geelani said in a telephonic address to the Muzaffarabad Press Club, from Srinagar, the capital of Indian-held Kashmir. “It is a great source of pain for us to see Pakistan granting MFN status to India when Indian security forces are raping our women and destroying Islamic culture,” said Geelani. “I appeal to the Pakistani nation to protest on this development so that the government is compelled to take back its decision,” he said. Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif, PML-N Convener Raja Farooq Haider and Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi have assured support to Geelani. “The entire nation is ready. We will not step back an inch from our stance because freedom is our destination,” Alvi said.
