Munawar opposes military operation in NWA

Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hasan has expressed his deep concern over media reports that military leadership has decided to launch a military operation against terrorists after Eid in North Waziristan.
In a statement issued here at Mansoora on Saturday, he said the decision had been taken under US pressure. “At last, the military leadership has yielded to the US pressure and decided to launch a military operation in North Waziristan,” he deplored.
He warned that military operation in North Waziristan would result in further destruction of the country. “It will prove a fatal decision and inflict harm to the security and integrity of the country,” he added.
Syed Munawar Hasan said the decision had been taken soon after the DG ISI visit to the US which indicated that the operation in North Waziristan was being launched under US pressure.
He demanded of the government to withdraw the decision forthwith and warned of US demands of ‘Do More’. “After military operation in N Waziristan, the US would certainly demand for another operation in Southern Punjab on the pretext that the terrorists had taken shelter there and the operation would spread to all parts of the country,” he added.
He said the US wanted to spread anarchy in the country as it could destroy the nuclear program of Pakistan.
He demanded of the government to take the decision back as it would have serious consequences against security and integrity of the country and it should come out of the US war on terror.
