Jamaat-ud-dawa (JD) central leader Amir Hamza announced to convert Punjab University (PU), Government College Lahore, University (GCU) Lahore and Agriculture University Faisalabad (AUF) into Taliban centre if NATO attacked Pakistan Army again. Hamza was addressing a large number of students in a rally organised by Almuhammadia Student Organization (ASO) to prepare them for jihad against the US and India. He demanded of the government to ask the US to vacate the Shamsi Airbase and close NATO supply line permanently.
The protesters were carrying anti-US banners and were raising slogans against NATO. His announcement to convert PU, GCU and Faisalabad University in ‘Taliban centre’ was enthusiastically greeted by the protesters who waved JD flags and shouted slogans in approval. Hamza said the chief of army should know that the JD supported him and would convert all of its fighters into Taliban if the need arises.
