Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Syed Munawar Hasan has strongly reacted to the US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta’s threats to the country and said the Pakistani nation will not cower or yield to any pressure for restoring the NATO supplies.
In a statement issued before his departure for Karachi on Friday, he urged the peace-loving nations to take notice of the American threats in order to save the world from the third world war.
The JI ameer said the US and its allies were furious because the NATO supplies had not been restored so far. They were playing the policy of carrot and stick and were irritated by the delay.
At the same time, scores of innocent citizens were being killed in drone attacks. He said the nefarious designs of India and Israel in Balochsitan under the US patronage had already come to fore.
In fact, the US was trying to destabilise the country in order to establish India’s hegemony in the region.
Munawar stated that the US had been waging an undeclared war against the country for the last twelve years only because of the cowardice of the Musharraf and Zardari governments and was now out to thrust an open war on Pakistan.
He said if the rulers did not sake off the fear of the US, Washington will turn Pakistan into a battlefield. He was, however, sure that the 180 million Pakistanis will bravely face the US threats.
Unfortunately, he said the Pakistani rulers were only interested in prolonging their rule and had even staked the country’s integrity and solidarity in their lust for dollars. The US slavery had made them totally blind and they could neither see the US brutalities nor hear its threats.
Munawar added that the nation did not expect the cowardly rulers to show courage but the silence of the army chief over the US Defence Secretary’s statement was a matter of concern as he should have given a befitting reply.
