Zardari, Gilani can’t change US defeat in Afghanistan into victory: JI

Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hasan, has said that Zardari and Gilani cannot change the US defeat in Afghanistan into victory. Addressing the Juma congregation at Mansoora mosque, he said that the rulers in Islamabad were prepared for a war with the nation by agreeing to restore NATO supplies in exchange for dollars. Syed Munawar Hasan noted that actually a war was going on between Islam and secularism in which the rulers were siding with secularism. He also slated the suggestion for unilateral troops withdrawal from Siachen and said that politicians having a soft corner for India and desiring demotion for Pak-India border were making such suggestions. He said the whole world knew it was India which moved its troops to Siachen in 1984 and this compelled Pakistan to follow suit. Continuing, Syed Munawar Hasan said that not only Zardari and Gilani were corrupt, but their children had also adopted the same path. The present government which was steeped in corruption was the main hurdle in the establishment of a peaceful and just society. He said the ordinary thieves and  dacoits were no match to Zardari and Gilani as there was no bigger thief and dacoit than the two all over the world. The JI Ameer said the government was keeping the nation in the dark by saying that arms and ammunition won’t be allowed in the NATO supplies and asked who would check the containers. He said that the arms and ammunition carried through our route would be used against our Afghan brethren and also in  Silala like attacks. How could the rulers allowing these supplies be termed patriotic, he asked.   Syed Munawar Hasan said, the recent Taliban attacks in Afghanistan had reduced the position of the US into two pennies. It was interesting, he said, that while the Taliban were accepting the responsibility of these attacks,  Washington was blaming the Haqaani net work for that. He was sure that the NATO supplies wont be allowed to pass through this country and thousands of people would be on roads to stop these. Meanwhile, addressing the All Pakistan Ulema Conference under the aegis of the Rabitaul Madaris al Islamia, Syed Munawar Hasan said that the religious movements were not fond of bringing the masses on roads every day but they noticed that there were conspiracies to snatch their freedom and sovereignty and the rulers were also involved in that. The enemy had found out its agents in our institutions. Stating that the US was the main cause of all the problems being faced by the world, he urged the Ulema to play their role in uniting the nation on one platform and for the defense of the country’s independence and sovereignty and to foil the enemy designs. Ittehadul Ulema Pakistan chief, Maulana Abdul Ma’lik, also spoke on the occasion.
