USA behind Pakistan’s traitors: JI chief

Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Syed Munawar Hasan has said the United States Congress’s decision to link the USAid to Pakistan with the release of Shakil Afridi proved beyond doubt that Pakistan’s traitors enjoy full US-backing.
Addressing the Friday congregation at Mansoora, he said the ‘fake’ doctor who helped Washington achieve its unholy designs by launching a bogus anti- polio campaign hasdone great harm to the polio campaign in the country.
Syed Munawar Hasan said the US is tightening its noose against this country and demanding lifting the visa restrictions for the US officials in the country while the selfish and incompetent rulers had pledged the country with the US and the IMF, simply to prolong their rule and for financial aid. He said the IMF is a horrible trap and it will gradually destroy the country’s economy. Therefore, the sooner we get rid of it, the better.
The JI ameer noted that there is a surge in the wave of terrorism after the discussion of talks with the Taliban had begun. This is a clear indication that the forces opposing that had become active to sabotage the talks process. He said the casual attitude of the government is a cause of deep concern for the masses while innocent people were falling victim to terrorism every day.
Referring to the Karachi situation, he said that an operation has been going on the port city for months yet target killing and terrorism could not be controlled. The murder of a senior police officer in Karachi has raised several question, he added. He said that the culprits held for target killing were stated to belong to a political party but nobody dared name the party.

Syed Munawar Hasan said that the demon of terrorism is spreading fast all over the country and the bomb blast at the Tableeghi centre, Peshawar hasdone heavy loss of life and property. He said those who were targeting places of worship could not be Muslims, and this is the activity of enemy agents. However, he questioned the efficiency of the secret services and agencies which failed to trace the terrorists before they struck. The foremost responsibility of the government is to protect the life and property of masses but the rulers were busy in Laptop and youth loan schemes, he remarked.
The JI chief also wondered why the prime minister is in a hurry for the privatisation of major state institutions, and stressed that the matter being so important, must be discussed by the parliament and an official commission be formed to assess the gains and the losses of the privatisation done in the past.
